summer or winter

[claudioterrible]

do you prefer summer or winter to work?

[fixthecopier]

I like each one until I have had about a month of it, then I wish for the other one.

Winter.
Its clear blue skies here in Brisbane during the winter months. Temp drops to around 10deg over night so you can pull the blankets up and get a good nights sleep. By 10 am the sun has got some warmth to it so you have to turn the car air-con on. If its a cold day with the wind blowing from the south I might keep a light jacket on until mid-day.
And the best bit is, no humidity.

In the summer I love driving in the sunshine on a hot day, then sweating like hell fitting parts to a fuser.
In the winter I hate driving on icy road in snow storms, then walking in freezing temps throught loads of snow, but I am happy when I have to fit parts to a fuser.
In the summer the women wear less clothes and in the winter I get to throw snowballs.
I am torn between the two.

Neither, thank you. I prefer the more temperate climates in fall and spring.

If you're asking about temperature, I prefer cooler temperatures. You can always add more clothes, but you can only remove so many, especially at work. =^..^=

Summer no question. I like taking corners with one hand on the wheel. Entering service calls stress free is the best way to attack a problem....and the women with less clothes thing, like michaelc said.

Like Blackcat said, Spring and Fall are my favorites.

Too much ice and snow in the Winter, and while Summer sure is fun, it seems that we have been getting a lot more severe rainstorms in recent years.

While I'm certainly not afraid of rain and "reasonable" wind, we've been getting more than our fair share of hail lately.

Ever seen (or worse, had) a car that's been hail damaged? It isn't pretty.

I think it was 3 years ago when about 15 people who work in and out of my office had their cars either severely damaged or totalled when they couldn't get parked under something soon enough. Yuk!

I like spring and fall myself. Too hot or too cold is not fun to drive or work in.

Summer WHY? Ther's an old saying : It's easyer to find cool then fire
I hate chill for shure! Beach is my preffered place

Summer in southern europe is better for me. Winter is too rainy and windy and cold for my tastes.

Also in summer shools close for summer vacations and people take their time also, which usually means less busy days.

And the women's clothing, of course.

Winter. Sweating as you walk in the door is majorly unappealing.

I dont do field service any more but when I did..

I can remember travelling on the hot stuffy Nothern Underground Line in London, thinking my next call has got to be better than this..

You get there and its some small stuffy office that has air conditioning that's not turned on and there's no windows open.

You wonder are these people on some kind of endurance test or what..



I would go for spring or autumn.

You get there and its some small stuffy office that has air conditioning that's not turned on and there's no windows open.

I also get that. Why pay big bucks for a SPA and sauna when you can get that while working for free?

Funny Story

It was late August, maybe 1993. I don't remember why, but Fred & I headed out to work on a Mita DC-111C at this church.

It had to be 100+F outside, and the church had no air conditioning. This was back in the days when we still wore white shirts, ties, and suit jackets. Needless to say we were dying.

The church office was small, so we only brought in Fred's tools. The pastor was also working in the office, so to make room I "supervised" from the hallway.

I got to noticing the posters hung up around this church, particularly the ones that said "God doesn't care about your sexual orientation ... "

So the pastor says "You look really hot. Don't stand on formality. Go ahead and take off your jacket, loosen your tie." So Fred does. Then he says "You can loosen up your shirt ... " and Fred starting to peel off his shirt.

I'm finding this particularly entertaining but this has got to stop, so I call Fred out into the hallway and quietly point out one of the posters on the wall. It takes a few minutes for him to connect the dots.

I don't think I have ever seen Fred move faster to finish a call. And I don't think he ever took off his jacket on a call either. I still laugh, thinking of it. =^..^=

I prefer winter because always I can go on trip to other countries. Lol.

Go stick your head on a pig's ass!
