I love working in a library with air conditioning. I love even more being the person who knows how to control it. Power mad, me? Perish the thought – though I have thought on more than one occasion that perhaps occasionally lowering the temperature in the public computer area to sub Arctic temperatures might serve as a good way of encouraging some of the local characters to stop kipping down there on a regular basis.
I especially love working in a building with working air conditioning when we get lovely periods of summer heat – like this week, where the outside temperatures have been approaching those we encountered in Florida last year. In that respect it’s been a wonderful early present – to walk to and from work, and lounge around out of work, in tropical heat, but being cool and comfortable when it comes to needing to shift stock around or interact with the public.
I really can’t complain…
