i'm affected by ISAD. Inverse Seasonal Affective Disorder.
You may have heard of the ancestor of this syndrome - SAD, where people in winter get miserable and depressed during the winter months. Inverse SAD is similar, yet the summer months provide endless days of pain and torment to its sufferers - heat is unbearable, the bright light is just plain wrong, and there are generally too many skin tight garments adorning NPA* people. That is why i moved to England. A haven for those with ISADlike symptoms - short crappy damp summers and long pleasant crappy damp winters.
So, it may come to you as no surprise that i'm chuffed that autumn has arrived. I've already got out my shorts and quite often will be seen pressing my nose up to the cold window as rain beats against it. Yet, a blight on my perfect cold existance comes in the form the 'coldfeelers' - who seem to be affected by the temperature. I am drawn to these types of people. My flatmate, my mother, and my forefathers all 'feel the cold' and insist on 'turning on the heating'.
Now, at home, i can deal with this and generally, the heat will make me lethargic and i can just slob around doing nothing whilst shoving ice cubes into my pants - but we have a 'coldfeeler' at work now too - well, everyone here. In fact, today, they all have jumpers on! Crazy fools! Its only October!
Our office is now like a hi-tech sauna, very hot and filled with computers.
Still, at least its raining outside, and lunch is soon. I can go play in the puddles.
