Mirage, anyone?

For weeks I, along with all of my coworkers, have been complaining about how flippin dry it is in the office.
It's so dry that I can chug water all day long and not have to go to pee until about 4:00pm. (Sidenote: Maybe Dolce should work here to help with the constant pregnancy induced bathroom trips? Hmm...)
It's so dry that my lips look like an ice rink post-hockey game/pre-Zamboni.
It's so dry that I put olive oil on my skin TWICE a day and it still feels like I sat out on the beach too long and fried my forehead.
While those descriptions are very accurate and paint a wonderful picture of exactly how dry it is here, some people might need a more quantitative measure. For you, I have this:

One of my coworkers has a little hygrometer and according to her nifty difty device the humidity in our office is 18%.








Average relative humidity in the Sahara desesrt is 25%.






Did I mention it's a little dry in here?

Well said, Katie!

And it's gratifying to see that my attitude toward olive oil is catching on. Maybe someday people will stop looking at me funny.

Bah humbug! Humidity is overrated. 0% humidity is good for me.

On a kinda funny note, toda'ys captcha word is "dismal". I wonder what the deal is with that...
