But I'll be working today, my leave balance at work is -6 days, since I took a vacation a couple of months ago. I'll be working on some LRC circuits, for which the impedance of my 220uF capacitors at 110hZ is -6.6i.

So there's lots of unary negatives in my real world today. Except for the capacitive reactance, which is an imaginary number.

Last Winter (Northern Hemisphere) there were days when we had no temperature at all! Yes, it was actually 0°. Canadians froze first seeing how it was still 32° here when it was 0° there. Eventually, however, all molecular motion stopped in both countries, and we all froze solid. Fortunately, the temperature went back up so we could resume our lives.
It was quite refreshing.
