Another day of working in 33°C temperatures in the studio... fans are just blowing hot air around and my chair's like a wet sponge.
Finding it hard to concentrate and focus on what I'm doing. This is beer weather, not working weather :[

33º is for girls, try 41º...

tell me about it. uk didn't even know what air conditioning was when they built most of their buildings! Is it really that hot up in Edinburgh! Isn't there some legal limit that they can't make you work over?

stop moaning, baste yourself in vegetable oil and get out on a traffic island...

Our studio is on the top floor of a south-west facing building. Two massive windows with 3/4 blinds. It acts like a greenhouse so the air gets trapped but doesn't escape. Plus no aircon so it's like a frickin oven. It's only about 27° outside so it'd be much easier to work out there.

spaniard - what's the deal with the siesta?
Do you get one and if so when and for how long?

Brrrrrrrr... it's too cold in the aircon!
sorry! ;)
- mydo0
can anyone explain why the people who control the tempreture of aircon in big offices make it so cold you have to bring a hoodie to work in the summer and so hot you can only wear a t-shirt in the winter... isn't that MORE expensive ALL year?

yeah, how does that work exactly with the siesta? it's from 12 - 17 h?

Make them install a wireless access point and go working on the roof.

i think the siesta has to do with the heat precisely.

(Jul 12 05, 02:38)do you mean, higher temp, more siesta?
I love the Spanish attitude. Work being dictated by weather is such an alien concept to us Brits.
Mad dogs and Englishmen and all that...

-------------------------No, i mean the tradition must have arisen from the fact that in rural Castilla there's no point in working between those hours because it's up to blazing 50ºC sometimes.

.. and noone was seen in town until 5 pm, so also the shops were closed.
