Hilarious. I don’t miss the extreme air conditioning at all. I remember having to dress for walking to work (summery, light clothing), yet also be prepared for at work (long sleeves, sweaters). For Halloween one year I dressed up as someone who’d frozen to death - complete with snow in the hair, icicles from the nose, blue tinted skin, etc. *heh*

Desperate calls call for desperate measures. I didn’t think the office staff would be using the old witch hunting methods!

correct!

Opposite to that, in winter my office at the old 9-7 was like north pole, sometimes outside was 10ºC and inside like 5ºC. I have to bring a heater from home and close the door. My old boss used to say: turn it off or you will get a cold! Fricking right?

We had a heat wave in our office for about a week and everyone complained to our publisher. He kept dismissing it and even told a couple of women that it was just their hormones. He would point out that the thermostat was reading 72 deg. (F). I finally went and bought an electronic temp. gauge so I could prove to him that it was as hot as you-know-what. Sure enough, the temp. was 84 deg. (F) with a 71% humidity, so it ACTUALLY felt like it was 90 deg (F). That finally prompted him to come to the brilliant conclusion that the thermostat reading must be off.

I’m going to write a book someday …

yeah i always have a jacket because of the AC…but in the winter they wouldn’t make it warm! i guess people like freezing to death and are afraid of sweating!

Its hearing situations like the comic strip and the above comments that make me glad I’m pursuing a freelance career before attempting to find work for a company.

I don’t miss the old corporate offices AC. My home office does get a little toasty in these summer months, but at least now I have the option of working in my bikini!

Funny. I just had this same conversation with a client yesterday about his office.
