I have just put my extra sweater on because it is cold in the office today because the air-conditioning is still working even though the expected high for today is in the upper 60s. I have determined I am in the wrong business. I either need to go in to writing headlines for USA today or become a weather forecaster; in either case I would enjoy a great career as a fiction writer.
The headline writers are only trying to grab your attention there is no need to be telling the truth. So only a 1/3rd of the nation is warm and humid, so much for truth in journalism. How much of the rest of what is in USA today is expounded on, something to think about.
Then there is the weather forecaster; I wish I only had to be right 25% of the time in my job to be successful. I understand that it is a little harder to do extended forecast out here on the west coast, but what is really amazing is how often the meteorologist in the middle of the country are when they can see the weather coming for days.
Oh well I guess I will stay with being a technologist and work on writing fiction as a hobby.
