reddragdivaOnly kidding. It was sufficiently hot today that the office air-conditioning was having trouble keeping up, and I started running out of excuses to do stuff in the server room.

I didn't visit St. Albans on Tuesday after all, owing to a very ill ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
redcountess. However, I do plan to make B-Movie this month.
Sunday, Liz and I get to be Exhibits A at a family reunion. In Southampton. I can't tell you how much the prospect thrills me.

Date: 2003-08-06 04:07 pm (UTC)I tend to startle people by freaking out when I see ice outside. Water doesn't freeze outdoors, it's against the laws of nature dammit.
You...
Date: 2003-08-06 04:21 pm (UTC)35 degrees my arse. Lightweights!!
Course, it's about 10 here today, but still!

Date: 2003-08-06 04:39 pm (UTC)Except the Engrish have not CLUE ONE about air conditioning. I'd like you to just think about that one for a bit.
Nor maximum temperature regulations in the workplace, by the way.
Most of us
Date: 2003-08-06 05:31 pm (UTC)Sheesh!!
At least the brits do heating right, unlike the aussies. How many rental properties have you been in with *no* heating. Cuz, like, we're in Ostraya, and we don't need it.
Re: max temperature in the workplace, from memory it's about 38 degrees.
Re: Most of us
Date: 2003-08-06 06:48 pm (UTC)For the UK? No.
There is no numerical maximum (if you differ, please state your source...)
There are many fuzzy rules about "reasonable" and "comfortable" but it is not illegal to have an office above a commercial bakery that is going full blast in the middle of summer, leading to the office being at 45C most of the day.
I now work in a place with aircon.
Feh.
Date: 2003-08-06 08:26 pm (UTC)And I, for one, would kill for the honor.
Wusses.

Re: Most of us
Date: 2003-08-07 04:55 am (UTC)We do

Date: 2003-08-07 09:43 am (UTC)Admittedly it's mostly true, but a lot of people underestimate just how bloody unpleasant -40 is, even when you're only going from the house to the car.

Date: 2003-08-06 05:15 pm (UTC)Probably a good thing. That's not a place where one should drink. One should drink in cool places where one is not sweating a litre every few minutes. (And this is why it was good that you were not there: that would have been one hell of a first impression. "HIIIIIIIII MY NAME IS A BIG PILE OF FLUID WHICH IS PUNGENT AND PUTRESCENT" "GOOD TO MEET YOU WATER I AM REVILING BRITISH ATTITUDES TOWARDS HEAT" "ME TOO EXCEPT FOR THAT I AM A PUDDELLLL")
Most of the way through book 3 of Left Behind, BTW. Look out.

Date: 2003-08-06 11:29 pm (UTC)That way I can read all comments in a style that is comfortable for me, while you don't have to deal with whatever I prefer.
Re: S2
Date: 2003-08-07 12:51 am (UTC)Actually, I wish the entire style system would be abolished and a single, sane style forced on everybody, but what you propose would be a good fix to the nightmare the style system has created.
