That just shows that you're working like you MEAN it! I can recall splitting wood in -20 degree F temperatures and having to take off my jacket and even roll up my sleeves to avoid sweating and catching a chill, so it happens. Of course, I don't do that any more, 'cause it's too much like working!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
