Do you know how depressing it is to only experience the sun while at work and not outside of it in the winter?
Especially those times of year where you're in the office before the sun rises, and leave after it sets. Oh, and you work in a windowless room.
Been there. Starting at 7:30am, before dawn. Finishing at 4:30pm, after sunset. Fine I'll just go without any daylight for 5 days per week then.
Yes, I do know. Funny thing because I normally don't care about going out and such. But going to work before sunrise and going home after sunset is depressing.
Yes. It creates a weird mind-fuck where i actually like a thing about my job, and the corporation has spared me a great evil.
I think that most winter lovers/summer haters live fairly south (like, not in areas north enough for taiga or tundra) and have never experienced a real winter. Come back to me when you have spent 5 months with only a few hours of sunlight, streets slippery as hell, barely any vegetation or animals, and being cold as hell.
Have you never heard of Antarctica?
I think it's a bit hard to live further south than Punta Arenas but I loved winter there despite it being far from warm.
I lived in Fairbanks, AK for almost three years. I've also lived in Bethel for a little over a year and spent about 6 months in Barrow. I grew up in Anchorage. If I could afford to have seasonal houses, my summer home would be in Barrow and my winter home would be in Fairbanks.
Fuck anywhere that gets above 65F at any point during the year. It's currently 62F in Anchorage and while it's bearable, it's bordering on becoming miserable.
Fuck Summer and the Sun it rode in.
That sounds so amazing. Air temperature outside my car driving back from the store was 114F a few minutes ago. You can't go outside, you can't get fresh air into your house, and the a/c runs full blast 24/7 just to hit 72F inside, until the power grid fails, again, because it's more profitable to not properly maintain the equipment. I need to get out of here. Texas sucks.
Nah, I know Finnish people who like winter and their winters are hard core.
