Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound.  My office at work is in the middle of three offices and we are all on the same heating and cooling unit.  The unit is set up to support three different thermostats and thus three different settings by using vents that open and close as needed in each office.  Although this sounds good in theory, in practice it usually results in one or more offices being too cold or too hot, depending on the settings of the three offices.

I came in the other morning and found my office at a very cool temperature of 63 degrees, even though my thermostat was set on 72 degrees.  I went to the adjoining office of my co-worker to tell her about my refrigerator of an office when I noticed her office temperature was a more modest 70 degrees, but her thermostat setting was at 45 degrees … 45 degrees! I told her she must be kidding, but she told me that the hot outside air heats her office – which is on the outside wall –  faster than the rest of the offices, and this was the only way she’d found to keep her office at least in a moderate 75+ degree range during the afternoon.  

She may have a point, but I still think it is a female thing. Women just do not seem to have the same thermosetting as men; they are either colder or warmer, no matter what the temperature is.  I think females were made with a sticking heat/cool gauge.  Wonder if they were made with parts from Toyota?  Can anyone say “recall?”

IN CHARGE
While having their evening dinner together, a little girl looked up at her father and asked, “Daddy, you’re the boss in our family, right?”  The father was very pleased to hear it and confidently replied, “Yes, my little princess.” The girl then continued, “That’s because mommy put you in charge, right?” [There are two answers to this question: One when mommy is present and one when mommy has left the dinner table.]

SPEEDING TICKET
My son, a West Virginia state trooper, stopped a woman for going 15 miles over the speed limit. After he handed her a ticket, she asked him, “Don’t you give out warnings?”

“Yes, ma’am,” he replied. “They’re all up and down the road. They say, ‘Speed Limit 55.’”
 
I need to close for now; the floor fan in my room needs adjusting. It is getting a tad warm in here. So, as always, be good, play safe and remember to stay cool.
