Journal JVert's Journal: Critical patch: Unchecked damper flaw in multi zone hvac sys 1

Description: Critical flaw in "Where I work Office Suite (tm)" can cause extremely cold conditions to occur because we're multizoned if you can ever call it that. I dont know who is controlling us but our air conditioning is on full blast and it was 45 degrees when I came in this morning. (With an outside ambient temperature of 75).

Resolution: Apply Jvert Hotfix ver 1.0. Take clear scotch tape and 7 sheets of paper, tape each one individualy 2x3 and take the last sheet of paper, scrible some meaningfull words, (always graffiti when possible) like "YAR!" or "SUP?" and tape that in the center of the 2x3 grid. Also open the tile next to the vent in vain hopes of the air circulating back out (See apendix flaw: "cold air rising")

Issues: If you applied the beta hotfix which consisted of pushing the vent up and wedging it open with a cardboard box from a hard drive. There is no uninstall for this cause i'm not getting up there again. These chairs swivel too damn much and i'm dizzy. Also I dont know what the HVAC guy is gonna say when he see's this but I'm pretty sure I wont be in the office tomorow anyways.

Its risen 5 degrees in 5 the minutes since i've applied this patch, your milage my vary.

Check back, I'll post pictures once my camera thaws. (I need to find a card reader)

UPDATE: As promised, PIKTARS!

    Might as well relabel the beast (AC Extreme, Blizzard Edition, that sort of thing).

    Well, I feel for ya. I personally despise A/C blowing cold air at me, especially in airplanes (thank you, United, I can no longer feel my feet). Or in my office (where it's adjustable through a webbrowser, which is nice, but changes take forever to take effect).

    You know, you could just call in sick on Monday and blame it on the A/C. ;)
