Can't sleep, heatwave will eat me.
What counts as a heatwave in Finland?
Ouch Finland avg temp in July. 13-17C
Well that's pretty comfy really
Continued temperature over +25 C for at least three days.
Buildings have been built without AC, since, well... historically, we've been more interested to capture as much heat as we can and hold it hostage indoors. Especially during winter.
And then there's the fact that the sun goes skinnydipping over the horizon for a scant couple of hours and then it bounces up and goes "AH-HA! MOAR HEAT COMIN' DOWN RIGHT NOW! FOOLED YA!". Air doesn't have much of a chance to cool down much.
And then there are the lakes, which supply so much humidity that there are days when it feels like trying to breathe underwater.
National forecast service defines heatwave warnings like this:
Severe heat: day's max temperature +27 C and minimum +14 C. (We've been having this for days by now.)
Very severe heat: max temperature +30 C and minimum +18 C.
OH MY GOD START LIVING IN FREEZERS PEOPLE (aka "extremely severe heat"): max temperature +35 C and minimum +20 C.
Yes, I could live with those temps - time to emigrate, since they are making nasty noises about summer finally being here in the forecasts.
Edit: Oh, on seeing the above maybe I can unpack my bags.
Build/config/coding person here (^_^)n... *waves CD-copies of tools, source and libs for previous builds about* (^_^)-O...
... (erm, not wishing to deflate your rant Wooly... but... did you not get suspicious when you started working there, and asked to get hold of the baseline build for what you were working on, and it was (presumably) not forthcoming? ... or did you _really_ slide into Mr Previous Guy's chair, desk and machine, and just pick up the "current" source tree on his local HD?).
You know something is totally messed up when Lapland is warmer than soddin' Riviera...
Have you contacted them about it yet? I wouldn't have waited this long, honestly. If they told me 5/1, I'd be on the phone by 5/3 asking where my package is. You can't be angry at them now, they haven't heard from you so they probably assume that you got it. Unfortunately, UPS doesn't have to get a signature anymore. They used to always get a signature, even for a $10 package. Now they just drop it at your door. I don't like that. I think most of the other services are the same now. Unless it is specified in the shipping instructions to get a signature, they don't bother. And yet they charge more for their service now, but give less service.

I keep forgetting to actually =/
Morning. Wintery wind stirring brown and gold leaves everywhere you look this morning :)
Here, a heat wave is 3 consecutive days of 90 F (32.2222 C) or higher. We almost had one last week. Here in Taunton we had 90 on Thursday, 92 on Friday and 89 on Saturday. Missed it by one degree. But that's just official nonsense. The fact is, it was damn hot...at the end of May! I'm wondering what the summer holds for us.

Although I would be willing to trade my summer temps for yours, I couldn't handle your winter temps. Last year for a week in June the temps broke record highs (for June) originally set in the early 1950s. Most of those days ranged from 27 C to 43 C; and very humid (the heat indexes were "I don't want to know because I'll just feel hotter")
Typically the Midwest summers have temps mid 90's to mid 100's (35 - 40c) with 70%+ humidity (sometimes feel like 110 and above). We'll have a few days that may be cooler and a few that may be hotter, but those are typical, at least I think. They even get that bad in Montana and other Northern states. I live on the Kansas/Missouri border (Kansas City area).
Don't mind hot days so much, hot nights get unbearable after a while
welcome back from the hurty places :)
Nice none Complaint: With the DIM and it's sorting I have found Downloading and getting my content into Categories to be much faster than I would have ever thought. I can see being 100% done in one more day of a hard push. Once you get a rhythm going it goes rather fast.
Complaint: Just finished paying bills ... all of that money ... gone, gone, gone. :(
Non Complaint: I still have money left over ... when's the next big sale?
welcome back from the hurty places :)
Yes good to hear
...just sent my viewpoint to both the local sports radio station and ESPN as when I got home tonight and turned on the radio what did I get? Yet another stupid Seattle Mariners game ( the 4th day in a row). It's really bad when this occurs on Sundays as this station also takes 2 hours of prime time to broadcast a bunch of boring public affairs shows that have little if anything to do with sports.
That's funny. There seems to be no end to the next big sale...ever day, or night. I've been amazed at all the crazy sales. They started just a little while after they said that they weren't going to have any more crazy sales. I've gotten an email about a new sale every night just after midnight DAZ time. So you don't have long to wait...just another hour or so.

Precisely. That's been my problem -- when the sun is down for a while, it is not cool enough to sleep. :(
Random things that bug me #2401:
I woke up this morning with a little snippet of dream conversation still in my mind.
"...and I laughed so hard that part of my brain actually came out of my nose!"
What bugs me is I can't remember any more of the dream, and I want to know what could possibly have been that funny.
...#2402:
Still no smileys, so I can't show you how I feel about that, so this image will have to do.
There is wall to wall cricket on our TV sometimes. Pity us.
OMG that's what's been coming out of my nose *faints*

After a week or so even aircon feels warm
I hear thunder. Gah. I want it to rain like non-stop for the next couple of days.

All I know about cricket I learned from Monty Python. : )

The rules of cricket are ever so easy
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game
...you have a much more understanding management than I dealt with. Hopefully whatever my next job is, it won't be one where I have to deal with such "Jekyll & Hyde" rubbish anymore. One day you're the darling of the company, the next day you're their goat depending on what side of the bed they got up on that morning.
Yeah - I've been through that a bit (being a contractor, you're kind of hired to take the blame) and it's about as fun as being molested by a diseased yek! (bug eyed face) It's not good for anyone, really. (frownie)

Global Messup? (heh heh)
95f+ here in Austin - pretty typical for May. 100f+ over the weekend. Time to get naked and stay indoors, rendering! (smirk)
If it's this hot where Vicky is, no WONDER she's naked in a temple! Too hot even for impractical armor!!! (bug eye face)
