I may have mentioned before that Work II's heating installation is a little sub-optimal. Indeed, it doesn't even seem to be a digital installation (it'd be either ON or OFF). Oh no, my friends. We get ALL HEAT ALL THE TIME.

Colleague S has grown a little concerned about this, fearing that spending all day in a slow-cooker isn't the most comfortable of accommodations, so he's brought in a nursery thermometer, so that it's possible to keep an eye on things.

Which is how I know that the office was 24°C this morning, which after the walk in through an admittedly mild December morn, felt plenty baking enough, thank you.

I have therefore taken the executive decision to activate the cooling cycle by opening the window. Unfortunately, the windows don't like being open, so we have to prop the thing using a spare PCI riser card (Geeks R Us™) - colleagues similarly afflicted elsewhere in the building use empty milk cartons, magazine racks or screwdrivers. There's an irony to the fact that we have mumble-thousand pounds worth of kit strewn hither and yon, yet we have to prop open the windows (to compensate for the lack of operational thermostats) with whatever junk we can find to avoid melting into pools of goo at our desks.
