pickled mushhead 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 It's getting hot and sweaty in the office. Everyone's complaining. "Why don't we turn the air conditioner on". "It's not July 1st yet". "So?" "We can only use it from 1st July"? "Why?" "Because it's July then". .... etc. There doesn't seem to be any reason for us not having the air conditioning on other than the fact that we are still in June. No budging on this one it seems. Madness. Unless I'm missing something. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Perhaps it's so they can have a good otsukaresama party afterwards, when they can all celebrate being Japanese with that added ability to be able to gaman more than foreigners. I'm impressed anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 ****... in our office we go straight from having the heaters on in winter to air conditioners in the summer. I can't stand it! Surely sometimes opening the window should be good enough!! Canned air makes me crazy... Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 As long as the switchover is done on the correct previously planned day, regardless of the weather outside and regardless what everyone wants to do, then I really don't think you should be complaining Black Mountain. Talk about rocking the boat! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Well, I think it all makes good sense. If you can't stand the heat.... don't become a chef. We have aircon on all year. Sometimes need to wear cardigans and jackets in the office while it's 33 on the streets. Bit of a shocker to go from street to office, but quite pleasant to go office to street, for about 30 seconds anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 the past few days have seen my schools turn on the air-con in the teachers room....aaahhhh bliss! Can't wait to get back there away from smelly, sweaty kids into that wonderful cold air!! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What the classrooms don't have aircons Tubby? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 No. They have small fans mounted on the walls but thats it. If you happen to stand 2 feet away from them then they are as much use as a chocolate teapot! They leave the wndows open to try and create a draft, but when the air outside is hot and humid, it doesn't make any difference. Makes my exits back to the teachers room VERY quick indeed!

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I thought I would just point out that in certain circumstances a chocolate teapot can be useful. For example, if you are hungry. I used to go to a place like that TB a long time ago. I hated it so much. Some days were unbearable. I remember one day I was very aware of being as sweaty as a very sweaty person and perhaps a bit smelly too. Yuck. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 thats everyday GG. First thing I do is jump in the shower when I get home. Got the air-con on at home now....aaahhhh!!! Unfortunately I have to leave for work Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 We don't have aircon in our office but we don't really need it. It is half below groud level and we keep the windows open which means it stays reasonably cool. We don't get quite as hot and humid as down south of course. Link to post Share on other sites
