Today I saw (via FB) a job that I don't want. "Practice break-thru-the-ice-to-be-rescued-person." My friend Jay (blogauthor of Plays With Sirens) did that exact job today and posted some pictures on FB of his adventures.
I saw the pictures and nearly developed hypothermia just from looking at them. Other jobs I don't want, in no particular order:
- gasteroentrologist
- podiatrist
- proctologist
- sanitation engineer
- civil engineer for wastewater systems
- waitress
- customer service representative
just to name a few. The list is long.

27 degrees this morning. You could have hung a wool coat on my nipples today. (TMI, I know, but SERIOUSLY) I went home and got a sweater at lunch -- although I was told the office was heated today, I was born at night but not last night. It is only since about 2 that it has felt like any heat is on whatsoever. Yes, dear northern friends, there are furnaces here. Used infrequently, but there are furnaces.

Getting excited for my quick getaway to Key West this weekend :) I leave on Friday morning, return Saturday night. :)

It actually isn't that cold...the suits are very warm, and the best part, dry. I actually got colder when I got out of it because of working up a sweat. But I understand your lack of desire to jump in a frozen lake.
Thanks Jay. I'm glad you do what you do -- and what all your firefighters in arms do -- but I really like being warm.
