UPDATE: Dysfunctional climate control systems really annoy me. For a couple of hours, I had a very pleasant respite swimming with my dogs at some friends’ house…Until I came home to the lame-ass PoS condo association who stole my parking space because I was too young and dumb and car-averse to think about it before closing the deal a couple years ago. Eventually I want to move to Wyoming or Iceland or Japan or Antarctica or something and this BS parking situation really ruins the resale value of my place --- and I’m ready to go for the jugular MoFo PoS douche bags. I’m real f-ing mad.As previously mentioned in the comments, the air conditioner at the office is broken and it is currently over 85 degrees F with no ventilation whatsoever. Since I'm too
grumpy and hot to accomplish any work, I thought I'd complain about the situation in my own official blogosphere.
When I Googled my office temperature concerns I came across this:
In general, what temperature is 'right' for various activities? | Table 3 |
| Temperature | |
| °F | °C |
| 78 | 25 | Optimal for bathing, showering. Sleep is disturbed |
| 75 | 24 | People feel warm, lethargic and sleepy. Optimal for unclothed people. |
| 72 | 22 | Most comfortable year-round indoor temperature for sedentary people. |
| 70 | 21 | Optimum for performance of mental work. |
| 64 | 18 | Physically inactive people begin to shiver. Active people are comfortable. |
Given the fact that I am clothed and presumably perform "mental work", 85 degrees is simply
unacceptable. Can someone please explain why office air conditioners never work when they are needed, but are always on when they’re not? If we can't even manage office climate control, how the hell are we going to deal with global warming?
Speaking of climate control, I would like to return to
Paleo-Future's "home of the future" where "electrically operated climate-conditioned extensions will permit 'summer terraces' all at will by your electricity." I just love the image.
