Back in court with all the other rejects. Apparently everybody else has also figured out that these things never start when they tell you, I wandered in at quarter past and I was one of the earliest to arrive.
It's also quite comfortable in the waiting room today. I guess a building this massive just takes a while to cool off after a weekend of sitting empty.

I am so utterly done with this place and this climate. I'm spending $60 a month on medication just to try and breathe. I am done with feeling like I've inhaled a wet sweat-sock. I'm done with not being able to sleep, and migraines and skin rashes from the fucking heat.
We spent the first 10 years in this house using nothing fans and that was enough. But each year the summers get hotter and longer and I just can't fucking do it any more. And Canada obviously doesn't give a shit about anything but extracting as much money out of the ground as possible to make sure oil companies continue to turn a profit.
I don't even like air conditioning but it's now moved to the head of the list of things to spend money on the next time we have some[1]. I just wish to fuck I could charge the cost to the fuckers who just cancelled all the wind and solar projects.
[1]Ha ha ha ha. That's a whole 'nother rant.

I lived for 30+ years through our summers without aircon, aside from a small portable evaporation unit that was dubious at best, but now I can't live without it (our summers are increasingly humid, but mild).
Now we have two units (ducted wouldn't work in our house), and it makes such a difference. Eventually I want to put solar panels on the roof to we can run it all day long at no cost.
(Speaking of, our seasons have changed, so this year at least, various things are flowering at different times. Hay Fever is now kinda random.)

Ugh, I feel ya. We put minisplits in our T.O. shotgun shack, and they worked really well. Failing that, we have window units we no longer use if you want them. Only issue being the wiring must be up to standard for the a/c. We ran into a little bit of a problem with the minisplits where they would trip the circuit at random even after we had done a full-house professional rewire. They must have missed something? Who knows. Sold it. :p
