People who complain about the heat but work inside

[SwampassJ]

I hate you all.

 

[DeathBrewer]

My truck has air conditioning! Also, the Bay Area has not yet experienced the heat of summer!

 

[jgln]

I hate you all.

I am actually fairly cold here in this room at work most of the time, really annoying, but they say it is needed for the equipment.

 

[Pappers_]

I hate you all.

Yeah, and my chair's not comfortable, either.

 

[Ti28]

I agree! Or better yet when one of the office people ask me if the shop has A/C, I give them the look of you're moron. I wanna crack them in the face.

In fact, it's a little gray out there right now. At least it is from my fifth floor view in downtown Oakland, inside a nice air conditioned building. There's even a coffee shop downstairs. Life is good!

 

[IrregularPulse]

It's taking a while to type this. My fingers are a bit frozen from the excessive air conditioning at my desk. I think my butt is going numb. Oh well, outside to shoot some hoops with the production guys during their break and warm up.

 

[JetSmooth]

I can't believe my office went to a baseball game yesterday...outside! I mean. Then I had to drink beer and eat hot dogs and stuff. Barbaric!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Gonna be 104F in Dallas this weekend. Hate me if you want, I'm glad I have an office job!

 

[SwampassJ]

Just a reminder. I don't hate you office dwellers. I hate the office dwellers that complain about the heat when they only experience the heat in 4 ways.

1. Walking to car in morning (here mornings suck, 86 by 8am today with 95% humidity)
2. Exiting said car to get into work.
3+4 = 7 Repeat in reverse order with more heat but less "relative" humidity.

 

[Zul'jin]

The AC is broken today. No chiller water. It's 91 in here. 96 in the server room. They'll fix it pretty quick. Wouldn't want the machine getting hot.

 

[jgln]

I may work in AC, for the past 30 years, but I am very active outside all year long. I have no problem sweating my A$$ off outside working in the yard after work. I am pretty tanned right now even with using sunblock 30. No complaints from me!

 

[SwampassJ]

79 up at the inlaws in NJ. I hate them too now. That's the average high here in January.

 

[nealf]

Crap, it's so hot outside... I'm dreading the 20 foot walk to my car.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Mad dogs and Englishmen stay out in the mid day sun.....It's true! Being from the land of the pale and pasty, I always try to make the most of a sunny day. I'll stay out till I fry, then wonder why I collapse in a dehydrated heap in the late afternoon.

Me too but I am Irish, does that count?

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Yep, still counts. It's same West European mentality, it's just that the English have a phrase and a song that puts it into words.

 

[cfonnes]

It has been really humid around here this week. Up to 45% humidity, so much for the "its a dry heat" thing. I guess that it is all in what you are used to, either way I am going to be taking afternoon siestas for the next couple of weeks.

 

[Shooter]

Well, my mom's family is Scottish and my dad's family is Norwegian. So, with my special shade of pink, I tend to view the sun as my mortal enemy.

Damn you Sol, Damn YOU!!!!!!

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I contend that wearing a suit inside at a stressful meeting when it is 75º is WAY worse than working outside when it is 90º (unless you also need to wear a suit when you are working outside).

I remember coming back from the beach many years ago and walking to my motel room (cheap hotel you drive your car up to) and the guys next door loudly discussing about having lobster for dinner. I didn't catch on to the joke, my friend had to explain it to me.

 

[Shooter]

unless you also need to wear a suit when you are working outside

This is the WORST!!!

 

[DeathBrewer]

Man, it's chilly out! I should put some pants on!

 

[Razorbrew]

I hate you all.

I gave up my office with a window a couple of years ago because it was on a shared thermostat with two other offices. The control was in the office of the person who would wear sweaters and turn on an floor heater in August! The new office had it's own thermostat. I sat the temp at 65 degrees for the first month just cause I could. Boy did that cut most meetings short.

 

[prosper]

I have a southwest corner office. The view is great, but all that glass means I'm cooking year round, anytime the sun is out.

 

[JoshuaWhite5522]

It's the end of July. I'm in Iraq. This sits outside the command center. And we didn't mess it the calibration either.

 

[kevabar]

I work outside 80% of the time. The hallway in my office building does not have heat/ac and one day it was probably pushing 85 in the hallway while it was 95+ outside. Someone had to complain it was too hot in the hall. bastard... (but I have nothing on Josh... god speed)

Wow that sucks. We have experienced a very wet summer so far, do not remember this kind of wet since early 90s. But still, when it is hot, it is about 20-25% humidity.

OK, you win.

Yep, I agree.

I drive a tow truck, so I'm in and out of it all day. It has AC (most of the time), but it sucks having to get out. Drenched with sweat, the AC cools me off quickly, but I'm still sweaty when I need to get out and do it all over again.

At least I have the AC (when it works).
