My First Three Days.

Monday:
* The air conditioning is broken. Three of the four chiller units have died
* The windows are open as the outside temperature was cooler.

Tuesday:
* 40 Small Desk Fans were purchased for the employees. This has only pushed hot air around.
* The windows are open as the outside temperature is a good 5 degrees cooler.
* All office PC's were shutdown overnight in an attempt to drop the temp overnight
* Casual Dress was declared for Wednesday

Wednesday:
* The attempt to cool the office failed ad the fourth chiller uiit had to be shutdown (I am not too sure why but I heard something about "red hot")
* 16 Portable Air Conditioners were hired (each one weighing a couple hundred kilos)
* Large 'industrial' fans have been deployed.
* So much power is being drained that the circuit breakers are shutting off roughly every hour.
* The portable air conditioners and fans are doing nothing. The windows are open.
* One guy is walking around in what appears to be boxer shorts and a t-shirt. Another is not currently wearing a t-shirt or any shirt.
* I walk outside at 5:00 pm, the air is blissfully cool.

Thursday?
Well, we will see. I am pretty sure that the Air Conditioning will not be fixed by Thursday.
