RawBBQSauce Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I can't stand those public sinks where the water comes out at lava temperature with no possibility of cold water. Pure evil, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Washing hands: Hot water or cold water? Warm, not hot. Not sure how to describe it. Put a cup of faucet water in the microwave and hit the 30 second button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I prefer cold water whether it's showers, washing my hands, whatever. Â I'm hungry but I hate taking lunch before 1. Feels like the workday goes by way faster if I take lunch at 1 instead of 12 or 12:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'm 8-5 with an hour lunch. I always go at 1:00-2:00. Makes the afternoon shorter.  The department we support called a conference call at 2-3 today. We have the regular bi-weekly conference call tomorrow from 2-3. So I have to adjust my lunch and go from 12:30-1:30. I need time in between to brush my teeth and clean my dishes.  The one thing I like about these conference calls is, it essentially wastes an hour as I rarely ever talk or comment. I can get other work done while they drone on about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Washing hands: Hot water or cold water? Hot. Â But I've heard and read that it doesn't matter and you get the same results with cold water. Â The temperature required to actually kill germs is way hotter than one could stand and would scald the skin. Â The end results of using either end of the spectrum were the same, no extra benefit or extra germs killed with hot water over cold water. Â What's strange about all of that is health departments require that the water temperature get to a certain temperature in a certain amount of time in the bathroom and kitchen hand washing stations. Â Only thing wife and I could think of was public perception of "hot water" being more beneficial than cold water or possibly that the hot water might break down the grime the germs are in faster than cold water (think of washing dishes).

Chew Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Most def, Taze. If the wife and I go out to lunch, we go at 10:30 lol Also why we work so early, 6:15 - 2:45. Beat the rush hour to and from work everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use hot water myself. I wonder if that's why my hands are continually dry though. I know, it's winter and all, but I feel like I lotion up way too much. It's borderline gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the hot water dries out your hands along with the soap more so than cold/luke warm water will. Â When I was posting a while back asking if anyone had dry skin under their beards and what to do. Â Â I researched it and there were tons of suggestions that said to use warm water or cold water cause hot will dry out the skin and also not to use standard soap.

That's why I keep the baby oil gel in the desk. My hands are big; I have to have them presentable at all times. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in line 15-20 mins more, you have to speed eat. Mon-Thur I eat in the office. Fridays I go out and since I'm salaried, if I need an extra 10-15 minutes, I can make it up later if need be. Glad I don't punch a clock anymore, but I do have to attendance punch once a day at any time. Most def, Taze. If the wife and I go out to lunch, we go at 10:30 lol Also why we work so early, 6:15 - 2:45. Beat the rush hour to and from work everyday. Did that in DC. Worked Mon-Thur 6:30-4:00 and Friday, 6:30-3:00. I worked a compressed schedule of 44 one week and 36 the next with every other Friday off to help with rush hour.

Â Haha, but really, I would take the 6:15-2:45 sched if I could. I have same hours as PJ. Â When I do snag lunch at 1 - it does make the rest of the afternoon go faster.

The Evil Genius Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 -washing hands  Just don't touch the sink handle with your wet hands when you are done because you've likely cancelled out the benefit of washing your hands for the last 30 seconds.
