Yesterday I travelled for work to Little Grand Rapids. It was +24°C, but the manager of the store insisted on blasting the truck air conditioning full blast. While waiting for the aircraft to arrive at the airport, I had to step out of the truck a couple times because it was so cold. I asked him how long he had managed stores in the Northwest Territories; his answer was long! Little Grand Rapids is north of Winnipeg, but he said it was the northern most store he's ever worked in. I pointed out that I had to wear a long-sleeve shirt outside, and he's blasting he air conditioning full blast.
Today I'm back home in Winnipeg. It's +33°C in the shade! I sweated while carrying a heavy tool backpack. I went shopping after the last work assignment. Carrying at 10kg bag of sugar plus a 4+kg bag of groceries plus a 20+kg backpack of tools, while walking multiple blocks in the sun between stores? I sweated bullets! Had dinner in A&W in air conditioning; ordered dinner with ice tea plus tap water. Clerk gave me a large glass refrigerated mug of tap water. Drank the hole thing, then went back for another glass of tap water. Finally was able to start eating my dinner. Clerk told me they offer free refills of soda drinks, I ordered ice tea. But it had to drink both large chilled glasses of water before I could drink the soda.
Am I wimpy for complaining about +33°C weather plus sunshine? While wearing black slacks and a long-sleeve grey shirt? Carrying a heavy load?
Ack, ya big baby!
Wasn't it 140 or so in death valley yesturday?
