Anytime I leave the house for numerous hours at a time, my father decides he wants to save money by turning off the central air. Considering temps rose to about 95 today, you can imagine my surprise when I got home and my entire living space was effectively hotter than the surface of the sun.

I can understand he wants to save money here and there, but when I get too hot (Especially after driving to Boston, sitting through a 9 hour meeting and then driving home) I get just a wee bit cranky. Not to mention, it takes about 8 hours for central air to effectively drain the house of heat to cool it again, which I’m assuming probably wastes more money than leaving it on a stable temp.

I went from freezing to death at the company meeting, to withering on the proverbial vine.

I’d hug ya dad, but I’m too sweaty.
