It's too hot for work

STEED · 07-01-06, 02:22 PM

I am off next week, just as well with temperatures in the U.K up in the 90's.Fahrenheit. Today some staff fell sick in the office as we hit 102.F and we have to grin and bare it. And why, because there is no legal limit on the temperatures in England, what's the story around the world?

No good, with all the heat from computer's and all the office equipment they render air conditioners useless.

I'm sure that doesn't apply to feeling sick. Go home!

Tell the boss that one; he will think you’re a slacker. Welcome to the world of the British boss.

Drink lots and lots of water and it should keep the heat from becoming a health problem. Heat usually causes problems when people underestimate the about a fluids they are loosing to sweat and evaporation. A person can loos several liters in a few hours. Gotta keep hydrated.

Forget about the water, drink a glass of liquid-Nitrogen and you're set.

The heat is playing havoc with my overclocked PC. What was a nice stable overclock this winter has become, since June, so flaky and unstable that I'm almost back to running stock again.

You think that is bad whislt im awaiting to be pushed out into college up in liverpool (merchant navy) i have a small but realy stinky job !

Yes thats right i come round and collect the rubbish bins or trash to the americans, just immagine that heat coupled with rotting food maggots and the smell, and you office workers keep complaining that your lives are hard! il trade any day well maybe not £9.85 per hour job and knock i dont think any office job could compete

Heh, I dread to think what the temperatures are like in our restaurant, there's no air conditioning, the carvery unit chucks out at least 30-40oC, and we have to wear long-sleeved shirts and waistcoats

Apparently we're meant to be getting a £10K air-con unit fitted in the restaurant, but I'm betting it won't arrive until winter, when it's nice to have a warm restaurant when it's chucking it down with rain outside and blowing a force 5-6 off the North Sea

Hot in the UK? Lol, you don't know what hot is.

33°C in the south east on Tuesday, the radio is saying it will be 45°C on Friday, I hope they got that wrong.

The trouble we have here, is are heat is full of moister which makes it even worst for you unlike arid heat, I remember some couple of years ago on a real scorcher of a day, I was walking behind a business man who was speaking to a Arab man. He said something long the lines this heat wave reminds you of home, and the reply from the Arab man was, this heat is very bad for you.

Give it a few months and you'll be looking back at that job with fond memory.

Cause, you know, nothing ever stinks in the merchant navy. And it's never too hot at sea... And being a cadet obviously pays better than that... :hmm:
