hipsters joining rolling thunder on their vespas has been my favorite sight of the summer so far for sheer ridiculousness

high temperatures this week:today 91weds 91thurs 87fri 80sat 87
you know what's the worst.. is when you get on the metro and as the doors close, realize the car has no air conditioning

Those no-AC metro cars are like being buried alive

AC in my apartment is currently non-functional :((i know, nowhere near as bad as a metro car!)

They live in the burbs and drive door to door? I have yet to figure it out. at least I can start wearing skirts. though being this pale is NAGL
― daria, Tuesday, 31 May 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
i am pale and i wear skirts and i just don't care!!
― tehresa, Tuesday, 31 May 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
was all excited that newjob is super close to home, thinking of biking but... even though it's short, there's no way i could swing it and look professional in the summer heat. maybe in fall!
― tehresa, Tuesday, 31 May 2011 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
btw idk if any of you regular metro riders follow @metroopensdoors on twitter, but they've put what looks like a pair of new people on the feed and it's gone from uselessly behind exemplar of everything broken abt metro to, like, a really useful rider tool & customer experience responder almost instantaneously. its like night and day--somebody just tweeted at them that there was no a/c in their car, within minutes @metro asked for the car #s to get a tech on it--whether they did or didn't, who knows, but in terms of PR i'm flabbergasted at how well they're coming off all of a sudden.

Consider what it's like waiting for a bus in these temperatures....

― daria-g, Wednesday, 1 June 2011 02:11 (twelve years ago) link

― tehresa, Wednesday, 1 June 2011 02:36 (twelve years ago) link

I just got back from Las Vegas.
It was a lot cooler there.
― quincie, Wednesday, 1 June 2011 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
On Friday I go to Atlanta.
Probably cooler there, too.
It was indeed cooler in my sc hometown (a few hours north of atl) yesterday than it was here!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 1 June 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link

Hey since I'm just back to posting this week after being on vacation last week, just want to say thanks to HOOS, Tombot, sarahel, tehresa and Z_S for the beers and talk in Ballston while I was there! Great meeting all of you, and I had a really fun pre-Jeopardy time.

how did the audition go??xpost
― tehresa, Thursday, 2 June 2011 15:37 (twelve years ago) link
I think it went well, but there were some pretty interesting and charismatic ppl in my group of auditioners. One dude had flown over from Yorkshire, UK to audition and another was a Marine Corps pathologist and war veteran. COntestant coordinator twice said she liked what I was wearing, though, so I guess a thanks to Perry Ellis is due if I make it on the show.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 2 June 2011 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
well depending on what time i wake up/how insane the traffic is, i hope to be around by maybe 6pm?
my only serious demand of any location is that it be air conditioned (though cheap is good too)
― mookieproof, Thursday, 2 June 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
I could do with a few pints right now.
― Ivana Boob-Reduction (j.lu), Thursday, 2 June 2011 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
Cold out there.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 3 June 2011 14:58 (twelve years ago) link

I am down for this fap today. Do these things get coordinated via email?

mookie emailed me last night and said he probably can't make it due to car issues :(
― tehresa, Friday, 3 June 2011 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
x-post - I can't make it, but I thought others were interested. Los Blue Jeans, maybe you should just suggest a spot and ask here if others are up for it?
― curmudgeon, Friday, 3 June 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
i'd be interested for sure. tons of beer places have mad cool guest drafts due to SAVOR going on
