Sweaty and steamy from hours of working remotely at home, one local woman says she can’t keep her thoughts from drifting to memories of last summer when the cool touch of frost bite nearly overtook her slender body almost every day at the office.
“I didn’t know what I had until it was gone,” said Laurie Klyberg, panting and wiping away beads of perspiration at her desk. “Oh, what I would give right now to have just one hand in fingerless gloves go completely numb from the nearly sub-zero air-conditioning blasting overhead.”
Klyberg said she’s been trying to make due by manually fanning herself as much as possible, but it’s just not doing the trick.
“I can barely even sleep through this hot dry spell,” Klyberg said. “I’ll bet if I was back in the office, the sweet embrace of glacial temperatures intended to keep men from breaking even a single sweat would be lulling me into a soft, hypothermia-induced slumber right now.”
Because there’s no telling when she’ll be in contact with her former office again, Klyberg says she plans to settle for clearing out and crawling inside her refrigerator tonight.
