Good Friday? Not in Northern Ireland!

(I just emailed this to a friend, but thought it was worth posting online too . . .)

So, today is Good Friday, but apparently in Northern Ireland no one gets it as a holiday (they get Tuesday instead). However, I am still the ONLY person in the office and there is no heat. I've just checked the thermometer and it says 14 degrees! That's celsius, of course . . . you Americans with your funny system beginning with F that I can't spell might not understand what that means, but it's damn cold in here. I want to go home now, but I have to wait for this guy to ring me back. In the mean time I am sporting my winter hat and coat and I can just barely feel my fingers and toes.

What does hypothermia feel like?
