Keeping your mind and body active while working on a computer all afternoon isn’t as simple as it may seem.
The majority of the work is boring, and by this point, you can do it in your sleep.
You couldn’t do your job if you weren’t free to get up whenever you wanted to. Some people seemed to be tapping their toes or doing little dances under their desks all day long, but that would be impossible if the building lacked air conditioning. Last week, when the temperature inside the building reached 92 degrees, not only did our brains shut down, but so did the computers. They were melting in the sun. The temperature in the corridor reached 92 degrees, and the cubicles were even hotter. A technician inquired human resources about the status of the AC repair. In order to reduce the number of mistakes made by their assistants, it was essential that their offices have air conditioning. Sweat was streaming into my friend’s and my eyes, and it was getting difficult to see. I, along with the majority of my fellow assistants, was prepared to quit at any moment. Only our floor lacked air conditioning, the other four floors in the building all had them. The Heating plus A/C technician arrived twenty minutes later and told everyone to leave. When the Heating plus A/C technician located the issue in our floor’s HVAC wiring, we would be notified. I overheard someone murmur, “There’s an electrical fire,” and I couldn’t have been more relieved that they didn’t yell it. The company could have been in serious trouble if that happened.
