Still alive.
Just slightly overheated.
The past couple of days, the temperature has been reaching 30-31oC in the office. And that's with all the windows open and two upright fans blasting cold(ish) air out at full power. Every time I go near my desk it's like walking into a wall of heat, and my arms keep sticking the desk when I type.
It's uncomfortable and sticky and horrible. And really, I wouldn't be complaining half so much if not for the frelling humidity. I can deal with this kind of heat in other countries, because it's an entirely different kind of heat, the kind that doesn't suffocate you as soon as you go outside...
It looks like we might be due a thunderstorm soon, though, as the sky's looking a bit greyer this morning and it's considerably cooler (having the windows open, for example, has actually made a difference...)
*disappears momentarily after hasty minimisation of window*
Right, now I've sorted out my manager's manager's problems *eyeroll*, back to the entry...
Trying to think when my last update was. Hrm.
In any case - Monday and Tuesday were the usual level of tedium. Wednesday I went round to Paul's to watch Dancer in the Dark, which was surreal but quite interesting. I took NBC with me, but we didn't have time for that because I was falling asleep.
Yesterday equally boring and absolutely frelling sweltering.
Today - seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
butterflyburn's band, Sinistra, at Scruffy's. Saturday - seeing Meatloaf at Warwick Castle (YAY!). Sunday - three months. Which is actually on Saturday, but never mind.
Right. I'd better do some work, I suppose...

Our offices all have flat roofs, too, which doesn't help.

The reason is because the building is made of paper mache and has next to no insulation.
A super-insulated building would halt the transfer of heat from the outside (hot) to the inside (cool). It would also be practically self-heating in the winter. But the building is 30-40 YO and is in good nick so you'll just have to use the photocopier in Admin for a bit. That is the only place I've been in with AirCon, the lucky devils.
Some computers get treated better than humans, being given airconditioned luxury in server rooms and the like.
PS - I'd forgotten about the gig this after'. Drat drat drat. That's what comes of having an all-day productivity meeting and not being able to see the forum for reminders, and now I've made other plans.
