Oh My God. There is no air conditioning at work. There will be no air conditioning at work for 1 to 2 weeks. It isn't that hot out, but it is really hot in! I was out sick yesterday, and so my office had been shut up for three days with no air, just baking. My window faces a wall (there is about 3 feet between my windo and the wall, so I get no breeze. The hall is actually quite comfortable.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sophia, can you bring in a fan from home? Depending on humidity, you can even set up a kind of swamp cooler with a bowl of water.

Fan, cold drinks. Can you damp down your blouse? with a fan blowing, it can help.

I do have a fan, but I have to bring it back and forth as it is also my fan for home! Luckily it is fairly small.
It is definitely getting cooler because I put the fan in the window to bring in the air, but now it is not blowing on me, so sort of a trade off.
I wish I still had a boss, because I am pretty sure she would just let me work from home. The next step up is the Dean, who is also on vacation.
ETA; And IO am drinking like a drinky thing.

Frankly, I just would, as I am technically "professional salaried staff", however the way our building is set up is that there are 6 or 7 people of the same level as I am, who totally can't leave because their bosses are here, working in the offices right next to me! They would be PISSED if I just left.

I would go home. They can just be pissed. They'll get over it.
Plead heat-related hives, if they're real jerks.
