Yeh. Hate Mondays. Tuesdays not so great either.

Stupid Mondays. Nothing comes easy on Monday. Deals will go south of the border, aircon will (still) not be working in my office and the contractor will arrive and leave in a puff of debris-laden smoke, leaving only a few bits of white ceiling tile in my coffee with no corresponding improvement to the sauna-like conditions. And here's a new wrinkle to the Carrier Man saga - after only 3 visits with the ladder and the puzzled looking Carrier Man, they have finally decided to lay the blame on our own contractorrrrr....

According to legend, sez the Carrier Man, your contractor came and negligently and/or wilfully sawed the aircon duct in half, leaving no aircon duct to channel cold air through the vents of your air conditioning system. Lucky for the Carrier Man, they managed to push open enough ceiling tiles to find a duct that, inexplicably, had been sawn open.

But didn't you say, the last time you were here, that it was the lack of aircon vents in our office that was making it so warm? And that we had to bring in our own contractors to create more aircon vents?

And didn't you say, the time before that, that it was the fact that the aircon vents were positioned too close to the windows and therefore the sunlight was warming up the cool air before it reached us?

And didn't you say, 3 visits ago, that it was because we had too many lights in our office which caused the light bulbs to heat up the cool air before it reached us?

I think the Carrier Man might be running out of excuses. Next thing he'll say is we shouldn't employ mammals because a live mammalian body will take in cool air from the aircon and convert it to warm carbon dioxide, thereby leaving the office less cool.
