Office A/C is out
Two days now of sweltering at my desk. It’s in the low 70s outside but my office is 86º right now. No windows to open. My balls are sweaty, it’s very uncomfortable, and documents stick to my forearms while working on them. I had my shirt off for a while, but my boss made me put it back on because it’s unprofessional, yet she gets to wear a sundress. It’s hard to focus on anything but how hot our office is.
Am I just being a pussy-ass office pansy or do I have a legitimate complaint and reason to go home?

The old office I used to work in had no AC at all. When the temps hit the 90s, the offices would close. Usually happened a couple times a summer.
Buy and bring a $10 desk fan in.

that happened in our building one summer and they turn the AC off on weekends of which i work many, just suck it up 86 isnt that bad in the shade of an office building.
bring a fan and keep a wet towel to keep around your neck.
initially it sucks, but if you focus on the task at hand you'll forget about it for the most part.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

Wear theese.
The AC will be repaired in about half an hour after that.
The floggings will continue until morale improves.

Casual day isn’t until this Friday. That means no mesh tank tops, banana hammocks, wife-beaters, half-shirts, cut-off jean shorts, manpris, short-shorts, skirts, shants, spanks, or any other unprofessional attire until then, possibly including sundresses.
They say it will be fixed by tomorrow.

I would rather be staked out on an anthill with honey on my sack in 104 degree heat that stuck in an airless office at 86.

The A/C seems to be functioning properly this morning and I'm quite comfortable.
But now the cappuccino machine in the breakroom isn't working. Christ almighty, is this an office or a third-world country?

I'm sure you've all been waiting for an update on this matter. Here's the latest news from our office manager...
"Bad News First….
The A/C system will probably be down for 6 weeks.
Good News…
We will institute casual dress until the system is fully functioning. Please remember no T-shirts, cut-offs, etc. Please remember to dress for your day and if need be bring a change of clothes."
6 fucking weeks to repair our A/C? They did buy us all fans and suggested keeping the blinds shut and lights off to keep cool. But it is beyond uncomfortable I think a little sand got in my vajayjay.
