Office is aircon

Home is a sauna which I'm battling with a tower fan, tall fan and an aircon unit. Sweaty.

Was ok until I went for a walk in the sun. Now sweating, but have a secret weapon hidden under my desk...

when it's hot in the office I normally take a shower and get changed into a pair of boardies and chill out with plenty of icy water.

I do work from home though

Office is aircon but commute is tricky at the moment. I'm an even sweatier mess than usual by the end of it and take a good 30 mins to cool down.

Office is fine but hotel is sans aircon and feels warmer than outside. Been sleeping with a wet towel draped over me.

Home on the other hand is lovely, as I installed a 5kw split ac unit this year in my living room and my bedroom is downstairs in the far cooler part of the house. LUSH

I'm still waiting for the aircon in my workspace to be fixed. Supposed to be this week, it hasn't worked for several years.
I work in a long, fully enclosed room inside a large industrial building, no windows, or ventilation, and doors to cooler outer area have to be kept closed for security reasons. All the rest of the offices have working aircon...
I do have a fan, though, which is two feet away when I'm sat at my computer, unfortunately that's only for a couple of hours in the afternoon.
When I'm not plate-making, in a litte room with a west-facing steel wall and roof, no windows at all, and three machines, all of which produce quite a lot of heat.
Getting out into fresh air is a blessed relief.

My lorry has the magical frost symbol. I would really struggle without it.
It also helps that I can wear what I like to work, which has consisted of shorts and T-shirt since the middle of April 😀
