I hate my office

Not my job. Not even the people. I hate the physical office building with its horrible ventilation.

It's almost November, which means we were atarting to get into the coolness that is mid-autumn. Outside it is a cool but still pleasant 19 degrees (Celsius). Inside my office, however? A ridiculous 29.1. It's not like people are being stupid and turning the heater on, either. It's because in an office where literally everything is done on computer, the temperature slowly rises throughout the day, and by around 4:00 PM it starts to feel like a freaking furnace.

In the summer, this is mitigated by air conditioning that keeps the room at a decent ~26 (still a bit on the warm side for my tastes, but definitely doable. In winter, though, the air conditioning doesnt get turned on, so it's actually *warmer* in the winter than in the summer. At 29 C I start sweating and have trouble concentrating, and I'm actually finding it difficult to focus at work right now.

Grrr.

I get the same sorta thing in kitchens. It's beautifully comfortable during the colder months because you have 3-4 hobs on, hot plate, grill, salamanders and 2-3 ovens, but in the warmer months it's guarenteed atleast an extra 10 degrees (Celcius) hotter than what it is outside in the sun.

We got a high of 41 in my home town, was easily 50-53 in the kitchen. Thank god for the cool room.

Exact same thing with my office. Ever since last year when the fruity green party voting wackjobs got into the ear of maintenance they fucked with the AC system to try to reduce power because its oh so good for the environment (fucking douchebags). And of course ever since then the AC never fucking works properly. It can literaly be 10 degrees in one part of the office and 30 in another. At my desk it will range between a nice 18 when I come in to a unbearable 27 by around midday.

Moral of the story is that people who work in my office who vote for the greens party deserve to be hung, drawn and quartered.

I worked for almost 5 years in a kitchen with no aircon. Man i love my airconned job now :) Sometimes it gets hot when its pretty busy or you have to work at a register with less airflow - or in the storeroom that isn't airconned QQ, but working in temps of 29C don't seem too bad for me (basing this on the QLD climate). I have more than learned to appreciate it working in my last job where like mew it was 10 degrees warmer inside than the outside temp. If it helps just think of all the people in warehouses or outside slugging it away in all there PPE 24/7 with little airflow in the place let alone aircon. Then it won't seem so bad :)
