Hmm. I wonder if I can find a way to convince our bosses of something like this. I have a standing air conditioner I’ve been forbidden to use but the good part is it registers the temperature in the room. I think I might e-mail our big boss every hour with the current temp. :rolleyes:
Now they have the nerve to tell us that tomorrow afternoon will be a record-breaking electricity use period for New England and we should make every attempt to minimize our use of electricity so that the peak rates aren’t as high as they could be, so the institution doesn’t get charged at higher rates for the next year. Hell, turn down everyone else’s AC; our building already isn’t using any of that–what’s turning off a few lights going to do for you? Let the whole company suffer!!!
It’s so hot, that last night, as I was leaving the cold, cold air-conditioned library, the water in the air condensed on my fingers. They were cold from typing and I felt like the grass in the morning dew (or something equally soggy.)
Jesus. Where’s the cold Wisconsin weather when you need it?
It feels much better now. It’s something like 90 degrees here now, and we’re getting some rain. Whew! My house got so darn hot I thought I was going to pass out. Good old black metal roof doesn’t help much. I have a window air conditioner in my bedroom so I was able to hide in there the last three for four days (it could barely keep up), but sometimes you just have to go the bathroom. Or post on the boards.
I hope the heat passes for all of you farther south and east of me soon!
It’s so hot the air conditioner at work died. You know they do that on purpose – just quit when the going gets tough.
Yes, I worked in a 93 degree office on Monday. We had 8 fans going, trying to keep ourselves and the computers going. The AC repair people were busy with the other ACs in town that went out, so they got to us this A.M. When I went in this morning, the building was 90 degrees and we had the doors open because it was cooler outside.
When I left this evening, it was a chilly 83 degrees in there.
I came in at 7:30 this morning to our non-ACed office and while it was 76 out, it was already 84 inside. :rolleyes: They’re predicting 100 outside; our boss said just take work home but I am morbidly curious to see just how hot this building can get.
