My new office has air con, dear god it's wonderful

Shiraz 4.99

Windows closed - Check
Air con on - Check
19 Degrees - Check

Oh good mother of the divine & all the saints, this is heaven.
I've been sweating like a fat boy on the menopause all morning until I remembered what the white panel on the wall does.
I don't care how many polar bears I'm drowning just keep this good stuff coming.

I am not at all happy for you.

Yes, we've got a couple of serious aircon units each the size of a small car up on the roof here. As well as that, my car is like a 300-horsepower refrigerator. All dem bitches be chillin' 21 degrees. :cool:

Yes but you don't get the opportunity to piss off the Greens.

Cool, love Nic Cage films but careful you don't get caught watching films when you're supposed to be working.

Very. I run the machine-room at 16C, it's positively cold in there.

You won't be as happy with that air-con when you pick up every bug doing the rounds in the office.

Or when it's freezing out and one pr!ck in the office decides to have it on full blast cause he's too warm....

These Americans haven't a clue. People are much more productive spending the day sweating, uncomfortable, dehydrated and inhaling each other's noxiousness. Sure you couldn't be offsetting P&E depreciation/servicing/maintenance/running costs against the enhanced comfort and hence productivity of a couple of hundred people, that'd be mad Protestant malarkey altogether begob!! :pac:

Cheap, mickeybollocks aircons can exacerbate this sort of thing, yes. A proper HVAC with an air filtration-and-cleaning unit installed and serviced by someone who isn't some clodhopper politician's idiot nephew is a different bitta kit altogether.

Who says? He could easily bring down a loads of cans of cider, throwing the plastic rings into the water for the fishies to strangle themselves on.

There are plenty of things you could be doing on a beach that the Greens wouldn't approve of, while topping up your tan.

When I have my air-con on in the car I have to turn it off after a while...

Its so cold the back of my fingers on the steering wheel feel like ice.

I'll never ever buy a car without A/C!

I'd much rather spend the day at home in my non-air conditioned house than be in work, quite frankly.

Stick a few bottles of water in the icebox of the fridge. When they are frozen put them on a (drip catching) tray in-front of your desk fan.

I needed to turn down our A/C as it was too cold.

I HATE the air conditioning in my office. Stupid invention.

Perhaps you turned it up then?:D




Just moved from an office of 12 people into a smaller office with just one other person and we are both enjoying the cold air-con ~19-20 degrees.
The bigger office was full of ladies who are always cold, even over the last few days they don't have the a/c on and it's sweltering in there

I don't know about that, I was in Vegas years ago and everywhere had aircon. You'd walk out of a chilly casino into sweltering heat, back into another chilly casino. I was sick on the way home. I don't think going from hot to cold and back again is good for you.

Air-con is for cissies. We all went out into the car-park and sat in our cars with the windows up. Suffering is good for the soul.









Though truthfully, I stood in the frozen food aisle of Tescos for about 20 minutes pretending to dither on which pizza to choose. Jasus, it's warm,..

Any IT firm will have aircon. Had it in the BT helldesk I worked on a decade ago even.

I'd say more people would realise they had it at work if all the women, who are always cold, stayed out one day

We call him 'The Penguin' in our office.

We have air-con too. I was wearing a hoody in work all day yesterday Then when I walked out of the building after work it was ROASTING!

Not a huge fan(!!) of air-con really though. It completely dries out my hair and skin.

Some people wind it down to Greenland levels, which isn't sensible. You can be a damn fool about anything. I keep the HVACs at a civilised 22C, aside from the properly powerful - and expensive - hardware.

Hate the aircon in the office, feckers have it way too low, have to wear a jumper at work.

I really don't understand why air conditioning is so rare in Ireland.

Ben Franklin was experimenting with freezing things via evaporation in the 1700s.
Michael Farday use AC in hospitals back in the 1820s
They were making ice in Florida in the 1840s.
In the 1850s they had it in Australia.
In 1902 they had the first electric AC unit. 1902!

Every year it's the same thing. 'Oh we don't need AC, it doesn't get hot'. Then summer comes and it gets hot. Sure, outside, with a breeze, in the shade, it's not so bad. But going shopping, riding the bus, public transport, sitting in a pub, wearing business attire in an office - it's all miserable.

And every year we act surprised when a 'heatwave' comes. And the newspapers run their fluff piece about how to 'beat the heat'.

What really pisses me off though, is that many places that advertise air conditioning don't have it. I did an Irish Ferries sailing with a room that had 'air conditioning' but it failed to produce any cold air. I had a very similar experience with the last hotel I stayed at.
