Autumn in August


Wherein Our Heroine is Uncharacteristically Sanguine About the Weather.

We've had a dip in the temperature around here - with the salutary effect of Our Heroine being less grumpy about summer than usual. Yes, for readers who are new to WoT, Our Heroine is mostly descended from the denizens of the northernmost reaches of Europe and her system doesn't particularly love the hot and the steamy. Some folks bask in the heat like lizards - Our Heroine, when exposed to extreme heat and humidity, is generally sure she is about to die. Why does she live in the DC area, where the heat and humidity impress folks from southern Florida? Let's just say it wasn't the weather that lured her here. She may do yoga, but nothing in the known Universe would get her into a Bikram class. Nothing in the unknown Universe either, for that matter.

So, considering the fact that the job-searching has been re-energized and suits will be the fashion order of the day, I am very happy to be contemplating temps that don't get upwards of the mid-80's. Because nothing says "hire this woman" less than a sweaty, frazzled candidate stuffed into a business suit on a day where the heat index is pushing upwards of 115˚.

Wish me luck.
