is it me, or is this wrong?

[jdev]

I work in an office building..

so, naturally, the office has AC. for those hot summer days. and belive me, in new england, they can sneak up on you, and you are glad you do work somewhere with AC.

well, this all starts monday.

(there are 2 AC units here. one cools our room full of servers and half the office, the other, the other half of the office)

monday.. AC unit 2 is leaking.. into the server room.. inches away from tens o thousands of dollars of server equipment.. no problem.. the powers that be decide a few trash barrels are an ok temp fix to solve the problem.. i go home shaking my head.. hoping for a slip and fall, and a lawsuit to ensue.

tuesday..

it is an icebox in here now. the AC unit that controls my art of the office, is on the fritz. it is very cold, unbearable cold to work in for 8 hours a day.

oh, and that damn leak is back.

AC people are called to fix the problem.. leak fixed.. my AC left alone.

wednesday..


still an icebox in here. i saw no AC personell here to work on the problem at hand...

thursday

suprise suprise.. its still freezing in here. i punch into work, leave, go back to my house, dig out my winter clothes, get a sweater, come back to work. other people in the building look at me as though I am insane.

which leads me to today. friday.

you would think that this would be fixed by now.. after complaints by employees that it is too cold and uncomfortable to work..

let me paint you a picture.

I am 6'0.. 280lbs.. not all muscle.. ive got some of the good insulation that keeps me warm

I show up to work in a hooded fleece, and long pants. I have taken off my collared shirt that I had on underneath this, leaving just a t-shirt.. i now use the collared shirt to warm my legs, as I feel they are nummbing..

another guy I work with brought in a thermometer from home..

59 degrees in here, and dropping..

I ask you... would you tolerate this BS?

I would much rather be working in a iron smelting factory right now..

59* isn't cold you wuss.

Sounds like heaven to me!

I'm stuck in a second floor office with a loft and skylights. Sweating private stock out evey pore in my body because the damned AC gets "too cold" for the secretaries!
I've got to wipe my keyboard off between sentences.

If I take off any more clothes, I'll get a fine for indecent exposure.

thordic,

you are absolutely right, 59 degrees normally isint cold.

but when my desk is directly under the AC vent.. it gets rather chilly..

big'n slo

I formally invite you and your private stock to come to cooler climates..

shartley..

im wearing pants and a hooded fleece (forgot to mention that in the first post)

and youre right about the smelting factory. maybe i can just change it up to a burger joing like mcdonalds or wendys.. least theyhave warm grills..

hrmm, 115 all the time.. sorry.. 114 is where i draw the line..

jeesh.. *hands you a towel to wipe your brow* i think ill stick to warming up in the server room.. they put out enough heat.

Man 59* is the normal temperature of my house throughout the year, even during the winter so that'd be a prime place for me to work.

Ah the joys of working inside. I work at a drycleaners, no AC or anything, but with all the steam and the machines going, we average 25-30 degrees warmer than it is outside. It's terrible in the summer, but great in the winter.

Joey d,

Your on, party like its 1985!

[InfinatyBPS]

Well, I'd say I feel for you but I would love to be in a 59* room, over here its been 90-100+* and it sux cause we have no AC, and its like 10-20* hotter in the house :/

[JesseB]

Try working out side in 110+ heat of West Texas
