'Jaynestown'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Seriously. I mean, they could lower the A/C -- it technically doesn't NEED to be 65 degrees in here, but that's about it.
nope, dont' take the risk. next thing you know, it will be 75 in your office, and when you complain they'll say "but you said we could"
This building is impossible to keep comfortable. A third of the offices are in direct sunlight, a third shaded by the neighboring buildings, and the other third are midway, like mine. So I'm sure if I'm freezing in my office they're sweltering over on the west side.

Oh yeah, I'd never say anything, especially because I know that when we're freezing, other people are barely comfortable.
When the a/c goes off here, we get sent home. It's only happened a couple of times, once a brownout and once the line that powers the wings blew up or something. There was still power in the core of the building, but the ac was dead.
Dana, could you get kicked off in a good way?
Heating my office building is an exercise in no one being happy. It's huge, and very open--I've heard people say it's the size of a football field, two floors with the centre of the second floor open so you can throw things at the people below. There are offices fringing most of the outside walls, getting varying amounts of near-desert sun.
Unrelatedly, one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
One place I worked, we used to get sent home if the generator ran out and the electricity went. And as they never remembered to buy oil, that was every couple of weeks. Yay!

We had this happen twice when a nearby water main has broke, but never with the a/c. Of course that's because we've never had the a/c go down (although it's needed serious re-adjustment several times, both up and down).
Dana, could you get kicked off in a good way?
Maybe. I doubt she could prejudice my boss against me, so it's possible that I could just get moved to another project which wouldn't be staffed by crazy people. I'm just pissed that I couldn't make this work. On the other hand, it's not like I killed myself trying, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
WRT ita's link, I know there are people I THINK haven't aged much, but Richard Simmons has looked identical for, like 30 years. I mean, he doesn't even have a new outfit or haircut. It is very weird. Although, I kinda like him.
Dana, always remember that they are the crazy people, not you.
