Tonight’s episode of 24 featured a “touching” moment in which Jack tells Audrey (via cell phone) that he “never stopped loving her.” You can catch more details in the official Episode Guide; it happened around 12:20pm. (This link probably won’t be active until late tonight; blame Fox.)
Hey, keep this lovey-dovey crap on the OC. At this point I was talking to the television, “Jack. Just kill someone, shoot someone, or blow something up!” After all, that’s what 24 is all about.
For the past five days, the temperature in my office has been in the mid to upper 80′s. No, that’s not a typo. The morons who manage the building where I work are replacing the HVAC system (I think the new equipment was installed on the roof yesterday). However, they did not properly plan on how to do this, since they wound up pumping warm air throughout the building to jack up the temperature. They said that they tried to pump in colder outside air, but since it was in the 50′s outside, it didn’t help at all.
Doing a little bit of digging online revealed that this temperature is well above what OSHA lists as “acceptable”. See something from the OSHA Technical Manual (see subsection 3) and something from the CDC (see the subsection “Environmental Parameters” under indoor air quality).
The one thing that I’ve learned from this is that if you’re incompetent at any other job, you can probably always find one in Facilities Management. I’ve never encountered any building management type person who seemed even remotely competent. Either that, or they just don’t care about their jobs.
