I have never been one for knowing the numbers on weather. I don’t care what the temperature or heat index are, I only need to know that I am hot and need water. But I have found a need for a thermometer finally. I’m going to put it in my alien-looking cubicle and force people to look at it. Particularly people who have the nerve to say it is cold in our office and proceed to turn off\/down the climate control.<\/p>\n

Yes, I’m a big hairy guy and I like it cold, but I don’t subject other people to my extremes.
