I hate working through poor indoor air conditions
I had to go to work this week even though the air conditioner didn’t work much at all. I knew it was going to be a miserable week, because my boss called Monday morning and told me to wear a pair of shorts instead of my work pants. The woman told me that the thermostat was broken and the air conditioner wasn’t working at all. It was going to be a very warm day in the store and she wanted to tell all of the employees that they could wear shorts. I was happy for the phone call and update, so I could dress appropriately for the indoor air conditions. I hoped that the problem would be fixed the next day, but my boss gave everyone the news before we went home for the day. The air conditioner would be broken until Thursday and I was scheduled to work every single day. I couldn’t call the boss and tell them that I was sick, because that would look suspicious and I didn’t want to use all of my vacation days on an air conditioner problem. I hated working through the poor indoor air conditions, but I felt it was necessary. The temperatures inside the building that day were close to eighty degrees, but the bobs kept the door open as much as possible. We ran a fan in the front lobby and two more in the back. I was so happy when the AC problem was finally fixed later that week. I wasn’t the only person dealing with a major case of grumpiness at work.
