Heat index

Post by RickD »

Hi all.

I work for a govt. Defense Contractor at a warehouse in Florida. This year, our caring(sarcasm) leader implemented a dress code, that prohibits wearing shorts. There has been a huge uproar from the employees, and I've been one of the more vocal opponents of our beloved dictator's new rule. He sits in his air conditioned office all day, and occasionally makes the 20 foot trek to his air conditioned truck. While the majority of us spend 95% of our day in a non-climate controlled warehouse. I've been doing a little research on heat index, and I've come to some startling conclusions(startling to me anyways).

Tomorrow, the temperature at my work is projected to be 98F/36.67C, with a relative humidity of 53%. That equates to a 116F/46C heat index, or "feels like" temperature.
I did a search of the worlds hottest cities, and Kuwait City is consistently one of the hottest.
I did a little comparison, and in Kuwait City tomorrow, the temp is projected to be 114F/45.56C, with a relative humidity of 8%. That equates to a 107F/42C heat index, or "feels like" temperature.
Now, keep in mind, the average relative humidity in July, for my work city, is 72%. So, that will significantly raise the heat index, to around 120F, on occasions.

Anyone want to come to the sunshine state, in July? y:O2

Moving anywhere east of Los Angeles in the U.S. is moving AWAY from paradise...IMHO.

NEVER! It is too hot in the summer and too filled with Canadians in the winter. You live in HELL.

PS...why in God's Flat Earth did you move from Massachusetts???

It's really not that bad, FL. We humans do tend to acclimate to our surroundings. As for why I moved from Massachusetts, let's just say we needed a change. A warmer change. Not to mention the fact that it's not called Taxachusetts, for nothing!

Witness Protection Program? Say no more, I understand. y:-$

I'll be spending two weeks on Cape Cod during the second half of August. The first half is in Bar Harbor, Maine. The Northeast summer is beautiful. As for Florida...I like Vero Beach (for the Piper plant) and Key West for the sea breezes. Orlando is OK for Disney.

Come to think of it, Florida is so flat that it is an excellent proof of the earth's flatness. If the earth were spherical, as the dummies affirm, your house should be at the top and you should be looking down on all your neighbors as the horizon falls away. Ditto for your neighbors: on a spherical earth, everybody is higher up than everybody else. Think about it!

I just love this Rum & Raisin ice cream my wife made.

Let's keep that between us, please. y[-o<

Be sure to visit Provincetown, when you go to Cape Cod. Provincetown is your kind of place.

You must've read my mind! I was a round earther, until I moved to Florida. All the evidence here, points to a flat earth.

That's a coincidence. I just ate a bunch of raisins. I got them out of my guinea pig's cage.

I find it queer that you would say such a thing. I had a gay time in Key West the last time I was there.

About your heat problem,

...will something be done about this? Is anyone listening to you guys or is management managing from ShangriLa?

It's a power trip for them. They like the manipulation and control way of managing. They claim once the heat index hits 100F, we can wear shorts. The problem with that is, their amendment to the dress code, is on a day to day basis. If there is no email sent out on the prior work day, amending the dress code, then no matter how miserably hot it is, shorts are not allowed. People get sent home from work, if they have shorts, and it wasn't a pre-approved "shorts" day.
It's a safe bet to say that from now till at least the end of August, maybe even September, the heat index will be near or above 100F every day.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

The employees could bring shorts to work and change there in front of everybody. Or you could wear shorts on top of your regular pants, looking foolish. The idea is to find a way to protest peacefully in order to get your message across.

Or you could just run amok and smash management's car windows.

Or, we could shut off their air conditioning. y:-?

I'd definitely go along with a plan that would have everyone wear shorts to work, whatever the consequences. That will never happen though. There's not enough of us who aren't afraid to lose our jobs over something that we feel is "flat-out" wrong.

Shower and what did you call it...deodorant? What's those terms.
I do take my monthly bath, on the first Saturday after the new moon. But, I have to admit, my bath turn only comes in the same water, after the 10 kids and wife. :esurprised:
