too warm

[timwilky]

The windows in this office do not open, the door leads onto a corridor, so no air movement, there is no air conditioning. I am sweating like a paedophile in mothercare.

Apparently the request for AC was rejected at the time we moved into this office by the landlord as too expensive

[timwilky]

The facilities manager has just turn up to find out why we are complaining of the heat, he said there is a ducted air system, went to turn it on and it is already on.

[L3nny]

If it's over 30 degrees in our server room we have to turn off all the servers to prevent them from suffering heat damage.

Take a measurement, if it's over 30 then turn off all the computers and say you are worried about damaging them. After a couple of days of no productivity they will realise AC is cheaper.

[Shonky]

There is a maximum working temp you know under H&S!

[L3nny]

No maximum, only a minimum

[Shonky]

Fair enough, I stand corrected :)

[timwilky]

Just been outside for a 5 min cool down, there is a lovely breeze blowing. Come back in and start leaking sweating

[dizzyblonde]

I've spent two days priming and painting skirting boards over the weekend, with added moving padding out front.

I am now pooped, and its way too hot, wish I had air con, but the internal central heating won't turn off :-(

[anna]

You all complain of the cold weather and then you complain of the heat!!!!

[L3nny]

This thread reminded me to check the temperature of the servers and it's now at 30 degrees.

If it wasn't for this I probably would have forgotten.

The org triumphs once again lol.

[PsychoCannon]

I never complain about the cold!
I'm happiest when it's rain ice and snow :)
I hate this stupid heat stuff :(

Luckily for me all our kit is in a very cool server room =p

[hindle8907]

we just got air-con fitted in our server room next door, so we just leave the door open into our office overnight and its nice and cool in both rooms in the mornings.

[timwilky]

I am complaining because the penny pinchers have caused a big problem. When I come in in a morning, the heating is on, there are no valves on the radiators to turn it off to stop us messing up the system. OK the rads go off about 8 am, but as we cannot open any widows it just gets warmer as the day continues.

Aperently last year before I worked in this office they did bring in a cheap AC unit. The first had an external condensor but nowhere to put it. so they got a cheap one that "Blew" out the hot air into the the corridor. It generated more heat than it dumped.

+1

after last years shoite rainy summer ya'll never catch me complianing about the heat again!

[Swin]

Nearly had a heart attack when I saw server temps at 76 degrees, then I put my glasses on and realised I was looking at the CPU core temp page...

Underground and air conditioned here, so it's nice and cool, but no windows to watch the world go by either :(

Come back in and start leaking sweating

HTH

[Gabriel2k]

AC just moves the heat from one place to another.

Your radiators should not be on at 8am, the nights are not cold enough that the building should need pre-heating. Are the boiler controls adequate? They should be fitted with weather compensation.

[keithd]

I've just got back from Vegas and Death Valley in California. In Death Valley it was 100 degrees in the shade at 9am. THATS warm.

However they do have AC everywhere...

[Stig]

I just went outside to warm up. :lol: Going for a run shortly, will be glad of the cooler temperatures in the office then. :)

[Bri w]

Just back in from the Nth Yorks Moors. Vents open on my jacket, lovely breeze blowing, stopped off at the Jolly Sailor for a pint of lager shandy with ice in it.

Its a hard life, don't know how I'm coping

[Girth]

Oooh its getting a bit chilly, i'd best turn the A/C down a bit......

[Pedrosa]

You got to love the Brits. Two days of consecutive sunshine and a hose pipe ban is enforced and everyone complains that they cant face another salad.

[Swin]

I haven't got a hosepipe, just a rain barrel and watering can, and I love salad - especially if you add some caesar sauce and parmesan cheese to the leaves - yum!

Well we could just go to sleep all day instead I suppose. :smt040

[BernardBikerchick]

[Razor]

Heating still on!

Jebus, have a word with the landlord and ask him for a copy of the building DEC (unless your firm does that) and advise turning the heating off in summer would help give a better rating. Could also advise whomever is responsible for the utility bills that the CRC goes live in September and each tonne of CO2 will start to cost!

Failing that, 'pass out' and claim for 4 weeks off with a bad back due to a poor landing, workplace injury and all that !

[Stig]

There's a hosepipe ban?

[Razor]

There's a hosepipe ban?

up here in the rain capital of england it hasn't been

[Sally]

Whats you're record so far this year?

Ours is 36 lovely degrees... :)

[TazDaz]

Ceiling fans are fairly good in this weather....

[Razor]

Whats you're record so far this year?


half a mo

*runs upstairs for thermohygrometer*

[Sally]

In the office I meant :)

[Razor]

office? you mean like work?

i don't work in an office mister, i work for a living...

my job is to keep moaning gits in temperate comfort... in fact i only found out recently... that if you ask a woman who is complaining of being too hot if she's going through the change, there's some disciplinary stuff that follows.. i mean who knew...

so i gotta ask, mr wilky... is it the menopause?

for interests sake the hottest my bedroom has been,since re-set button was pushed was 27.4 in the Celsius scale,11.1 on the lower end

[timwilky]

Oi sooty ar5e your a brit as well. We haven't got a hosepipe ban, just an application for a drought order.

Now there was something I needed to ask you.


Oh yes that was it, Who is on top of the super league?



You lot out there have it easy, it is all mañana and air conditioned buildings. Back home you would have to put up with having to work in the same office that your granddad worked in (Not kidding either). Yesterday deadlines and going out into the midday blazing sun to cool down.

[timwilky]

PS where you been hiding

[Viney]

See all your moaning and now its friggin raining!

[timwilky]

Lovely, drains are overflowing, they cannot cope. The stream down the road has burst its banks, thunder and lightening keeping me awake, not to mention the sound of the rain battering the roof tiles.

Still sweating though wearing waterproofs to walk the mutt.

Still no need for a sneaky watering of the lawns and flower beds today

[Pedrosa]

Mr.Wilky......Super League positions are temporary! Your lot will NEVER be forgiven for beating The Saints in our last game at Knowsley Road!!!

I am Brit indeed but have acclimatised to the heat now. I am though a terrible wimp on days when the weather offers temps of anything below 15ºC. And to think that I played rugby right up to before I left Blighty for Spain! The very thought of some of the conditions I played in makes me shiver at the thought.....brrrrrrr.
