The upside of exercising at lunchtime and feeling overheated for the rest of the afternoon is that it's a sign that my metabolism is still in high gear and, hopefully, is sucking dry the various overfilled fat cells I have to fuel itself.
The tradeoff is that even though I shower once I get back, I'm still so hot that I sweat for hours afterward and feel lank and greasy all afternoon.
The mitigator is working in IT, which means I can go stand in the server room and try to chill myself down super fast, which works better some days than others. Hopefully winter will help too.

Your mileage may, of course, be within one standard deviation...
WoW, that's right.
Talking faster wouldn't help me. One of the most common reasons that I stumble over my words is that I'm mentally stepping back from what I'm saying and editing it. Sometimes I'll make three or four false starts into a sentence as I keep thinking of different ways to express something. If I spoke faster all that would happen would be I'd get even further into what I was saying before I had to reverse out of the sentence and come back into it, and that would make me even more annoying to listen to.
I'm told I have a pleasant speaking voice, which hopefully is useful in winning me a little grace on things like this.
I do this. Worse yet, when I get emotional, my vocabulary falls appart and I revert to french, or japanese, or franco-japanese[1]. When MissEllie turned up at my work, I just jumped up and down and made little squuealing noises until I rememebred how to, you know, verb.
My speaking voice is inconstant. I went through a phase of mortification of the self, and one of the things I tore apart was my mode of speech[2]. Now I'm trying to put it back together, but I haven't quite figured out which parts I want yet.
2: It was hard to follow anyway, on account of people had been asleep for several million years and knew little of those early sixties sit-coms of which I spoke.
