This week, I could barely stand it in the office because it was so terribly hot.
For some reason, the air conditioning wasn’t working and they had not called the local commercial HVAC company to come and fix it.
Usually if there is an issue with the air conditioning at work, they call the commercial HVAC company immediately to make sure that they can get it fixed quickly. Sometimes that’s not the case though. This week it was even worse than usual because they took way too long to get it fixed on a week that was extra hot. We’ve been having a bit of a heat wave around here this week, and if there was ever a week where we needed to have air conditioning in the office, it was this week! I ended up bringing in one of those small portable air conditioning units to put next to my desk on Wednesday because I had an important deadline and at that point, it didn’t look like the HVAC company was going to be able to get there in time to fix it. I knew that I was going to have to work pretty late on my project and there was no way I was going to be able to stay in the office any longer without air conditioning! It was miserably hot in there and the only thing that I was getting done was sweating! I complained about it profusely to my manager. I think that if they are going to work us like dogs at this place, they should at least make sure that the air conditioning is working correctly during the summer.
