Re: Office Air Conditioning
 
our office has its own little jumble of eco systems going on....

we have most of the programmers with their "70 degrees and wearing jumpers", the Xenon programmers with our "Sunny & in the 80's wearing shorts and Tshirts, flipflops are a must", the designers with their "darkest dungeon @ 75, wearing coats and jeans", production with thei roh so happy "78 and a nice mixture of smiles and charm"....

I swear you could get culture shock just walking around this place.... ps - I'm a Xenon guy, shorts, shades and flipflops for me.

It would be laughable if it weren't for the damage all this excessive electricity consumption is causing to the environment!

What is it with Americans - do they really not see the connection, or do they simply not care?

no-one gives a damn, simple as...

Our new VP is English and is already asking why when its 90 outside the air-conditioning causes people to wear jumpers inside- I have popcorn and will sit back and watch the fun :D
