6 weeks of suck
So this story in the Vancouver Sun means the next six weeks at the office are going to suck comfort-wise. Already today the lights went off (which isn’t such a big deal given the giant windows in the office) and we have to shut down our computers at the end of the day. The most annoying part: the air conditioning has to be ratcheted down, which means the office could regularly hit 26 degrees C instead of the usual balmy 20. Given the giant windows letting in streams of sunlight, it’ll raise the office temperature another degree or two. And of course, the six weeks (or more) that it’ll take to fix this blown transformer is pretty much the hottest part of the year, and thus the only time the A/C is heavily needed.
Good thing it’s going to be 37 tomorrow! *puke*

You’re making me feel better working next to the open trench called Cambie

My office is a basement, shared with 6-9 employees, with poor ventilation, and constantly smelling of dog pee. I work on a laptop that I bring from home on a big soft chair.

Your big soft chair should make up for that. I think your company invested most of its money there instead of computers.

Haha still beat you, working on a smelly, polluted dike in Hamilton in 39 degree weather.
