    We aren't allowed to bring to work electrical equipment which plugs into a power socket unless it has been 'Tested & Tagged'. It's part of OH&S rules to remove the electrical shock/fire hazards from external electrical equipment . But I reckon the company may have to compromise somewhat .... otherwise there will be a peasant's revolt.

    It so distressing to see attractive women stripping down to bare minimum clothing.

    Oh wow! - Yeah it was bloody inviting but I wasn't dressed all too appropriately for it & my lift back home refused to have a sopping wet Hursty in his car.

    It's the humidity that makes it so damn unbearable - give me dry heat over it any day.

    Agreed! The humidity makes me crash about mid arvo. Then you're awake all night....
    The heat I like, the f* humidity, can't stand it. I'll be happy when I'm back at school (teacher)

    Well your lucky, my crappy school can't afford air cons.

    Nor can most Public Schools.

    We're gonna have a hot week this time... It got so hot today (reached 41 by the near afternoon) that me and my workmates in Bedford got to go home early.

    Over the next three days after today, it's gonna get worse.

    Fan-hugging-tastic.

    43C today and we still had Iaido practice. Think I lost nearly 2kg body weight's worth in sweat, luckily there were rehydration stations.

    I worked out harder on the weekend so I could take this week off exercise. Only one extreme heat day in and I'm already over it. Three more in a row? I'll be barely functioning by Friday.
