I can never just get used to a temperature in Austin--there's a lot of shadeless concrete outside and cranked up A/C inside. But I'm not willing to be in A/C at all times except when I'm running between a building and a car, so oh well, I'll have a loopy system.
I definitely turn into a blob when it gets too hot (or too cold) in the house and do think it's worth it to turn up the A/C (or heat) in order to maximize my real living time.
I also used to take all day to recover from ultimate frisbee--but I thought that was from the exertion rather than just getting hot. Actually I know it was--it happened in cold weather, too. And walking 1.5 miles in one direction, then sitting around for a couple of hours, then walking 1.5 miles again should not be a big deal (and does not feel like a big deal). So I'm hoping the problem was just the high indoor temperature and that I shouldn't give up on walking to this meeting if I go again.
On the other hand, I found out they record their presentations and post them on the web, so I could get that benefit without leaving home. I wouldn't hear all the other job opportunities, but I don't need that at this time. I wouldn't get a chance at the door prizes, but although they are above average for door prizes, that's not big loss. I wouldn't get any networking in, but that doesn't matter. I do kind of like when someone gets a job and gives us a little summary about how their job hunt went, though--I'd miss that.
Too bad about your parents' house in the summer! I'm definitely trying not to do that!
