... The space heater you brought in blows a fuse and that cuts power to your computer and your co-worker's computer.
Yeah, I literally blew a fuse at work yesterday. In my defense, it was 18C in my cubicle yesterday and that totally is a good reason to have the space heater going at full blast. My co-worker just next to me also has a space heater, so I guess the two of them together on the same breaker was just too much. This goes to show how old the building is.
So the two of us were without power for about an hour while we waited for the building maintanence guys to come by. While we waited, another building guy came by to take a look at the temperature problem. Turns out, the air-con wasn't even on! So the guy fiddled with some switches in the ceiling and that got the heat going. I don't think it completely fixed the problem, though. The area starts out fairly warm early in the morning, but by the time everyone else arrives at the office, there's cold air coming up from the vents. Sigh. But it was a balmy 21C in my cubicle today, so something is working. I still need the space heater to keep my feet warm, but I can put it right next to me so there's no need to have it going full blast all day.
It's not even that cold outside right now. 0C or a little bit cooler. I can't imagine how cold it's going to be inside when it's -20 or -30C outside. Maybe I should bring in a blanket to work, too.
