A period of abnormally and uncomfortably hot and usually humid weather. To be a heat wave such a period should last at least one day, but conventionally it lasts from several days to several weeks. In 1900, A. T. Burrows more rigidly defined a “hot wave” as a spell of three or more days on each of which the maximum shade temperature reaches or exceeds 90°F. More realistically, the comfort criteria for any one region are dependent upon the normal conditions of that region.

yo.

yesterday it was close to 100 degrees. today, 94. tomorrow, 90. it was like 95 on sunday.
1am this morning, it was 82. eighty two! when you’re climbing in your bed to retire for the night, that’s a real bad look.

it hasn’t been too humid, just pure, dry, stultifying heat. and my A/C is on the fritz, too? ugh.

anyway.

it’s already the 10th of July, and i haven’t gotten much accomplished in the way of procuring gainful employment in NYC. sometimes i wonder if i am even making the right decision. i realize deep down, though, that it’s cold feet and random insecurity. fuck it.

the proverbial battery in my back got recharged a bit today; between my supervisor unecessarily micromanaging me and my co-worker putting things in place to fuck me over while i was away a few weeks ago, i’m excited to leave these motherfuckers high and dry. i can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they realize i won’t be tackling all of this work they’ve so strategically positioned on me.

it’s almost exciting.

i sorta want to leave a week or 2 early and have that time to cool down (assuming that everything else will be in place by then) but i really need those checks, so most likely i won’t.

i think mentally, i’m ready as i’ll ever be. the money is really a matter of a few weeks of saving. i’ve already paid my last rent payment on my lease, and i’m due money back for my security deposit (which i had BETTER receive all of. ) things look promising.

i’ll keep you updated on the job search.
