That article was far more sensible and pertinent than I was expecting. Especially relevant, given the fact that a couple weeks ago one of my coworkers was wearing a jacket while I was sweating though my clothes.

Our handbook is pretty terrible to both sexes though. There's two full pages on how women should do their makeup. It can basically be summed up as "You need to wear makeup, but don't look like a whore." So, at least I don't have to deal with that.

Honestly, I wouldn't complain if it didn't affect my work, but when it gets this hot I get dizzy unless I drink water like it is going out of style, which means I have to get up to fill my water and relieve myself. And even then I can barely concentrate.

I still blame the dress code more than anything. I'm comfortable to above 90 degrees or so if I'm wearing shorts and a lightweight tee. Slacks, leather shoes and a long sleeve shirt are not suitable much above 75 as far as I'm concerned.

> I'm comfortable to above 90 degrees

Consider yourself lucky.

I am not comfortable in temperatures above 80 in any clothing bar undergarments, especially not if you want me to be productive cognitively in any way.

And if you add humidity on top of that, it essentially reduces me to a vegetable, unable to do anything but take short naps and cold showers every few hours.

I definitely feel that way if I'm in the sun with no breeze. I'm pretty tall and lanky though, and I sweat a lot, so I think the two of those things together combine to keep me fairly cool.

Being hot is definitely tiring though. I'm pretty sure I use a ton of energy just sitting around sweating, and if I have to walk anywhere in that weather I'll just want to take a nap when I get there.
