We're in the low 90's, too.
It's not so much the heat, but the HUMIDITY. No A/C. Gonna be a long, hot night.

No A/C at work.
A/C was out all last week for repairs. (Each thing they fixed was followed by something else getting broke). Now they are waiting on a part to be shipped in and don't expect it till Friday. Four more days of dripping into my phone. High eighties/low nineties all last week and this one.
Every day is a 2 shower day. Sometimes 3.

Ouch.
Condolences. We've had similar problems off and on; I find it nearly impossible to work if the A/C is off. :-( At the moment here it's: 83F, 73% humidity, 73F [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point|dew point]: Humans tend to react with discomfort to high dew points. Those accustomed to continental climates often begin to feel uncomfortable when the dew point reaches between 15 and 20 \ufffdC (59 to 68 \ufffdF). Most inhabitants of these areas will consider dew points above 21 \ufffdC (70 \ufffdF) to be oppressive. Yeah, it's like that. Expected high of 92 with 50% chance of thunderstorms tonight. We'll be swimming through the air soon. Hang in there. Cheers, Scott.

Same here, a couple of weeks ago.
Then I got my house's 30-year-old A/C unit replaced with a brand new York 15-SEER one. It's hyarge, but damn if it doesn't keep the house at the temperature I want it.
Sorry to hear about your trials. It's hard to work when all you can think about is how hot and uncomfortable you are.

We had problems a bit like that a few months ago.
Basically, me and my 5 colleagues are in a corner of the floor that has been partitioned off without regard to how the air circulates. Coupled with a small 'server room' that was build without insulation and our corner got oppressively hot last summer. I think it got over 30C. We all dressed down (shorts and t-shirts) for a couple of weeks to help. We also kvetched and whinged to management so much that we were eventually told to just shut up about it because the company's done all it was going to do until we rebuild the floor (coming in the next two months!).
Even in winter, it's still very warm here.

Sorry, Box but - -
You can't put a load of ashes in your fireplace and unburn the logs, to cool the place:
a+b != b+a

yabbut ya gotta get it when it is available
he needed parts for an 87 mercury marquis. I have a crippled 87 lincoln. He had earlier this year had cut 18 oak/hickory trees on his property and split them into firewood for fall sale at $230 a cord (average going price around here). We settled on 2 cord and I wanted the pick of the litter so had to do it now.
thanx,
bill
