More stuff August 20, 2006
Posted by Staci in : General Ramblings, Work Stuff , trackbackSo at work on Friday there was an evacuation. It involved our entire building standing in a parking lot for more the 40 minutes. The tempeture was 105 so on the blacktop it reached closer to 120. I have a problem with sun and heat. I am very prone to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. I have suffered from both on more then on occasion, so each time it happens my likely hood of it happening again increases. After about 10 minutes I had to sit down between 2 parked cars and try to stay out of the the sun. My co-workers kept asking if I was ok and I was getting that weak dizzy feeling all over again. By the time we were let back in the building, I could hardly keep my eyes open. I know I we had not gotten back inside when we did, I would have been passed out on the pavement before too much longer. Once inside I drank some water which of course made me nausous. After a few minutes when my color did not improve and it was getting harder and harder to stay alert, one of my peers offered to drive me home.Â
I took a luke-warm shower and fell asleep very soon after. I slept most of the day away and woke up with a terrible headache and stomachache. Par for the course when I get too hot.  The headache presisted until today,but I think I am fine now.
 On Sunday (tom) we are going to look at a house that my sister might buy. Then lunch and off to poker if I still feel fine.
