big yellow taxi
I can hear them through the walls of my office, carrying on about the Man. It's hot right now and that doesn't help. Desperation and irritation and always having to wait makes it worse. I walk out thinking maybe I'll get some air and see what's what and I hear someone say go fuck yourself you fucking bitch and I'm not expecting that so I look around with a dopey smile on my face you talkin' to me? repeating on a loop in my mind like I'm Travis Bickle. I'm confused, like I'm swimming through murky water or I've just eaten too much sugar and while I've probably been called worse come on now we've never even met. You talkin' to me? But hey whatever, that's cool.

September and cool relief can't come fast enough... What is it about the heat making people (myself most definitely included!) act so ugly!
Agree with Amy about the cool to come.
The heat seems to have this affect on nearly everyone but that guy... wow!

So. Friggin. Hot.
Wow - talk about uncalled for!
I love the title of this post.
They won't know what they've got till it's gone.
keep those thoughts strong.
though your days to come may be hot, they will be far cooler than that!
i'm laughing at wheels on the bus.
and now i want a cheeseburger. and i hope you get your peace soon.
It sounds as if you are starting to make the mental leap needed to finally leave.
For the sake of others, it seems you are where you belong.
(what's all this talk about heat--it's been 75 degrees here all week!)
heat makes people crazy and mean. it'll pass when cool breezes come.
soon.
The ability to glide is a talent that would serve many people well.
No, that's not cool. Not cool at all. Good for you for just gliding on.
Everything you say, every single thing, I'm like, 'DAMN.'
Damn.
Yeah, sometimes you just need a cheeseburger.
sometimes walking away is the best for everyone involved.
Cooler weather and cheeseburgers. Sounds good to me too.
Mmmm cheeseburger!
I am so ready for cooler weather - but not winter weather, just fall.
And don't it always seem to go?
