really? You thought that writer's block was going to buy you even that long? Hell, the longest reign thus far was only so because the servers bombed. No, you were not so close. Not so close at all.

i smell something *sniff*

i suggest calling the fire department

I suggest calling somebody to shovel away all that...

How is everybody today?

tired

-Exiled Possum

and yet you march on and fill up the boards. You're a trooper, you are. Well, I feel for you. Getting over the sickness and just having twitches at this point. Weather sucks too. Woot!

next time you get sick, you should visit you nephews

-Exiled Possum

I won the game

problem is that I only get sick after one of them does, so guess who's immune to it. Maybe I should hunt down the sickest, most contagious SOB just to give it to them. And before the jokes start flying, I mean contagious through simple coughs and sneezes.

@Fear: Love the avatar

Well, I bet I can beat anyone's tiredness: I just got back from martial arts class after sparring for ~10-11 minutes. Straight.

My tiredness right now, yes. But I've been through that. Kicks the crap out of you on a good night. Whatcha practice? I do capoeira.

been there done that

working for UPS is worse somedays

I can imagine that. Aside from the hell of a never-ending line of boxes that you have to keep moving, if you're one of those poor guys delivering on foot then I bet the weather can make your day oodles of fun fun!

it can make it tons of fun

glad there is no snow

but 115° with 75% humidity can kill ya

@Draak- I do Ho-Am style Tae Kwon Do, and my sister&dad do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gracie style).

@Ryat- definitely agree on the 115 degree/75% humidity. It's never gotten that bad here in Gulfport MS, but sometimes it's like living in a soggy hell.

One of my friends does Jiu Jitsu. No idea what style though. As he puts it, Jiu Jitsu puts a lot more impact on your body, but capoeira does a lot more cardio. I don't really know anything about Tae Kwon Do that I haven't seen in the movies, which means I know nothing.

115 degrees and 75% humidity? The worst I can remember is 110 in ~80-85%. That's in Louisiana. I could be forgeting worse days, but I'm not usually forced to work in them. Where the hell (literally) do you get those stats?

how much do you make at ups, if i may ask?

I AM NOOBIS, GOD OF NOOBITRY AND FAIL!! BOW BEFORE MY FAIL! BOW!!

almost $30 an hour (about 29.75 or something)

I check the weather channel daily to know what I got to deal with or what I dealt with (used to have it on my phone)

I like to see what hell I lived in, that day was the worst

okay, but so that I know never to be there, what state/province/etc. is that and the month.

Seriously, though, I've worked in crap conditions and that's why I will never go for anything but a desk job.

Arizona, Phoenix area, think it was July though April through October we can reach +100 temps

Texas here. We get the 100+ in May through September. The humidity is all throughout the year. I was under the impression that Arizona had a lot less humidity, or was that just one really crappy day?

july and august are our monsoon months and have high humidity, the others are low end humidity though yes

July is the absolute worst because the temps are still high (june has a tendency to have the highest) but the monsoon hits hard then and so you get extreme temps with high humidity, it starts to cool off in august but the monsoons still stick around so you get 105 to 110 temps with high humidity the rest are a bit more bareable due to lower humidity w
