Lab Rat Day 2

HVAC broken again. It’s got to be about 80 F at 10 am. Gah.

Plus the elevators are out. Shac and I got back form the gym totally exhausted and stood in the elevators… since they didn’t want to go to our floor, we thought they might be in “night mode” where you take one elevator to and from the parking garage, and then switch elevators to go from the lobby to the rest of the building.

Nope. The board for the card reader had been yanked for maintenance and so all the elevators, which have card readers, were inoperable. D’oh!

Dan, our office manager, wrote this to us-

We ask for your patience while we all work through this. But here are a few helpful hints if you just can’t get comfortable:

If you are too hot:

  1. Bring in a fan
  2. Bring in a bucket and a bag of ice, and stick your feet in it while you work

If you are too cold:

  1. Bring in a fire safe space heater (they automatically shut off if they tip over)
  2. Take a 2 min break and run around the outside of the building several times

One thought on “Lab Rat Day 2

  1. Do you know that this is reportable to OSHA? And the landlord/employer could be fined? A lot of money?

    WTF is wrong with your work’s HVAC?
