Here's what's out of hand: the temperature in the LRC. It should notttt. Be hovering around an unfriendly 906* when there are people in here trying to work. Why. WHY? This is a problem every year! Every year I complain to the people at the desk. Every year the conversation goes something like this:
me: Hi. Are you guys in charge of the temperature in here? Cuz it's really hot. (Don't worry. I realize this is stating the obvious.)
desk person (making the same sympathetic face they probably perfected 3 yrs ago when this first became a problem): Sorrrryyy! We're actually not in charge of it. We've talked to (blank - I never really listen to this part but usually they say something ambiguous like "the building," "the administration," "the people in charge," etc.-) about it and they're working on getting it fixed.
me: Oh. I'm sorry you have to work here when it's so hot!
We both laugh in our misery at the heat. In my head, I blame the desk person for not storming around until it gets fixed. In their head, they hate me because I don't have to stay here and I'm just wasting their time asking the same stupid question that they get 10 times a day and besides that, I've just reminded them of their sorry existence.
But seriously I don't understand why this happens every year. I could understand if one year the AC was broken, but I will never understand why the same problem happens repeatedly. Who is in charge?? Who needs to be fired?
I'm about to blame Jake Heaps for this.
