MAN, IT'S HOT!!

Not only outside, but inside too. Have you ever worked in a 4-story office building with no air conditioning? Well, that's what I'm doing today, tomorrow and maybe Monday. Yep, the the second of 4 compressors died from heat exhaustion yesterday. The funeral is today with it's replacement expected to start next week. It evidently has to "relocate" here from who knows where, and of course, has to go through the mandatory training session (city permit) before beginning work. In the meantime, 150 employees suffer with "fans" blowing hot air through the halls. I left work yesterday at 4:15 and when I walked outside, it was cooler than inside! Sure, there was a breeze blowing in a rain shower, but still, cooler outside than inside? I mean, please, we have had over a 100 degrees all week and most of us would rather take our computers and sit outside than in our windowless offices! And we can't possibly close the office. Oh no, that would be money down the drain if the attorneys can't bill time. Yeah well, I wonder how many of those attorneys will be working from home today and tomorrow?! Oh yeah, we got an email late yesterday afternoon saying that they are "loosening the dress code." I wore yesterday exactly what they said we could wear today! Uh, can you tell that I'm just a bit "steamed" and really don't want to be here? I guess I should be thanking my marathon training for preparing me for my 8:00-5:00 job, huh? Who'd a thunk it? I guess I'll be hydrating all day so I don't pass out on my keyboard!
