Air Conditioning

[Ric.ror]

Can you believe that in this weather we cannot have the air con on as it makes some people cold

[caz21]

Bet those same people don't like the heating on too high in winter coz they are too hot!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ric.ror]

Actually no one has the heating on from 1st Sept because she gets arthritis - and dont we all know it.

Annoying isn't it, we have a constant battle daily, with a girl in our office. We keep putting the air con on and she keeps turning it off.

She also doesn't let us pull the blind across the skylight - cos she like the sunlight, nevermind the rest of us can't see our screens.

Well I don't know about your colleague, Ric, but my arthritis benefits from the heat - that and not sitting on my backside for too long.

If she wants to come and work in our office, she's welcome. We're in a listed building with a glass-brick roof and high windows. The council say it's too expensive and/or not allowed to either paint over the bricks or install blinds. We can only open two of the windows because we're next to a traffic island and the noise is horrendous. The temperature in the office on Wednesday was 90 degrees, 86 yesterday. So your colleague's welcome to swap.

Tell her to stop moaning and put a b****y cardigan on if she's cold. Why should you all suffer from heat stroke just for her benefit?

I have Reynauds and am in dreadful pain if I am in a cold breeze. The pain can last for several hours.

I have to wear special gloves to shop for chilled or frozen food.

There is no way I could be in an air conditioned atmosphere for very long.

Can you believe that we still dont have air conditioning in our building even though the temperature is hitting 30 outside and even hotter inside because of all the computers!

[Ric.ror]

Well I dont know where to start with all this - firstly my collegue was asked to move offices when we had a shake up and she refused because she said she needed natural light - our office does not have a window. Oh and by the way she also has Reynauds too. But I wonder where you have to draw the line I am sympathetic to anyone with any illness but what about when the rest of the office have to suffer.

If your air-conditoning is set to about 24 - 26 degrees C . as recommended it should be just nice and comfortable for everyone,
