I worked for many years in schools with no air conditioning. As soon as I went inside, the heat and humidity would be like a blast from a pizza oven. Throw in all those heat-generating bodies.....Gross.

You have the added misery of the computers running.

sweat from the time you stepped in until you left

But it's only 98° here.

i work in an open office with west-facing windows that usually has 30 people and 30 running computers at once, so i keep the air on all the time once the weather turns.

something on the AC, someone crossed some wires on the AC that covered our part of the building. We turned off the overhead lights for 2 days (which I discovered I really liked because it created a more quiet work environment). Most of us left early on Monday but we are back to business today.

I grew up in Miami during the time when very few homes had air conditioning. I spent a lot of the day in front of a fan after I was married and became pregnant. You don't know what real humidity is unless you have lived in South Florida. I live in North Georgia now and when someone complains about the humidity in the summer, I just laugh and tell them to try living in South Florida with the heat and humidity almost year 'round.

It's not even that warm out (25 celcius which is like what? 75?) but inside omg. WE don't have any windows that open and the doors are situated in such a way that opening them does nothing. We reached 90 in our office today. Needless to say, our boss caved and decided, after all, to get us AC. This was a building that was newly leased and is supposed to be temporary so they didn't want the expense. But I suppose making sure the workers don't get heat stroke sitting at their desks is probably more cost efficient, LOL. AC should be in tomorrow - just in time for the cold front to come through

87 inside. I just can't see how anybody could stand 87 inside without negative repercussions. If nothing else, people cannot be as productive.

Why is your state legislatively mandated to do this?

And this is the same Governor who wasted state funds (with a budge shortfall over $640 million) having work done on a rental house so that the State would bring in Contractors to do some really badly needed work on the Governor's Mansion. The work had already been bid out, contracts awarded and Work Orders issued to begin work. Apparently after her ADULT daughter was told that she would have to move her 5th wheeler off the property when Mom moved to the rental house because no one could be living on the grounds while the work was done. After that, all of a sudden it became too inconvenient for Fallin and her grifter family to move out for the work to be done. From what I understand, all her ADULT children and step-children live at that the mansion with her and hubby #2. I guess saving money is only for the little people.

I hate it simply. I cannot leave that much hot place. It like a hell for me

You should seriously consider calling them.

I used to work at a large company in a call center, and the a/c went out a few times.

They would get out big fans, but if the temp went above a certain level they had to shut the place down and send everyone home.

I remember the days of keeping a wet towel around my neck -- in Des Moines, Iowa in the summer. Not going to save money if computers go down, or employees have to go to the emergency room with heat stroke. Will they let you have fans? Circulating air really does help. Drink water!
