Hot like an Oven!

Is this true?? The temperature for tonight is 31C but feels like 45C? This can't be true!? This is the WORST number that we got so far. It's so extremely hot!!! I thought the hottest we have had was on my previous post when it felt like 38C or so!?! Not even the airconditioning units at home or in the office can sustain the heat wave. Mall aircon even are not sufficient enough as many people prefer to stay inside the mall and refresh themselves. There are cooling centers which provides cool air and water for people to relax and be refreshed. But those centers can only be counted by the fingers. Just imagine yourself, on a bright and sunny and humid and hot weather, with the sun's rays directly shining in your eyes and you have to stay under the sun just because you are waiting for a bus ride home. When you boarded the bus, the air inside is so humid despite having the aircon opened. But yet, it's not enough. Then you get down and transfer to another bus. Same scenario. AAARRGGHHH!!! Makes you want to jump into a pool of cold water! hehe...

I read in the news that 80% of the hospital emergencies will be baby boomers suffering from the heat wave. The city raised up a heat alert and advised people to stay inside if they can. But for people who can't stay inside simple because they have mouths to be fed, must and have no choice but to be outside. Oh well, as I always say every year, I'm looking foward to the FALL season. :)

Day 1 CVD

First day of work at the new office.... it was OK. The building is nice. The walls were newly painted although we don't experience the after smell of the paint. Our desks needed some housekeeping, so we did it ourselves. The place I am assigned to is just fine although the blinds have to be closed down otherwise, my eyes will really hurt since the reflection of the sun is glaring at my monitor. My "neighbor" here has to live with that!

OK, so I came in to the office with an officemate of mine. I got up at 7am and quickly went to my daily morning routine. Half past 7, I'm done and waiting for her to fetch me. She drove along Bur Oak Ave. then turned right at McCowan Road, then right at 16th Ave. It wasn't jammed yet during that time, about 15mins after we left our place. It began to feel congested at around 10 to 8am and near 404. Luckily, past that, we were OK. She didn't turn left at Leslie as there was a long line of car waiting to take the LEFT signal. So we went straight and turned left instead at Valleymede, a residential area which her friend taught her would be a better choice. So, we drove along Valleymede. Houses there were the same color. You can just imagine living there and finding your wrong front door, which is by the way, no surprise. Hehe.

After about 5 minutes, we were already parking her car. The ground floor parking area was already crowded. Just imagine people coming in really early in the morning just to avoid the traffic. I have to know how to drive by next year. I don't want to rely on anyone already and I don't want to commute either. HIHI.

It's almost 2:30pm and I'm sooo sleepy!!!! I'm doing some documentation right now. Tomorrow will be full blast work day. Except for some who are just coming in and unpacking and stuffs. I guess Tim Horton's will be very busy every morning here as these people are such coffee fanatics although there is FREE coffee here. They still prefer the ones at Tim's. Back to work now!
