Shanghai Service

A lot going on at the office today. About 3:00, we began to notice that the office was stifflingly hot. After a quick walkabout and some consultation, we determined that there was no aircon blowing. We have HVAC problems on a routine basis, usually when it is hot. Today was exceptionally hot outside so no one was amused.

Our secretary, well known to management at this point, called to inquire and simultaneously complain. Management explained that they had turned the HVAC unit off in the building for some maintenance. Huh???

This is just the stuff that happens here. No "it is broken and we are making some repairs"; the Class A office building we are spending a bloody fortune on thought it was a good idea to perform scheduled maintenance on the HVAC unit at 3:00 on a Wednesday afternoon. At the end of June.
