Air Konditioning

Rain season is here and it sucks. From the end of June until about the third week of July, it's grey skies with on-again, off-again rain. Not to mention the unbearable humidity. Wearing pants to school these days blows.

Thank Zeus for air conditioning.

However, a teacher at my school is constantly turning off the air conditioner. Why oh why does this person wish to suffer so? Masochistic perhaps? Or maybe they believe in fan-death, which also carries over to air conditioners too. Why can't they just adjust the temperature? Instead, when nobody is looking, *click*, off it goes and the school office turns into Hades.

This is an ongoing battle. Like the rain, we have on-again, off-again air conditioning.

In my classroom, the air conditioner is on and everyone loves it, save for one kid. Sorry junior. Majority rules. Interesting though is that whenever I leave the classroom for a second to make a photocopy, I will come back to find that someone has opened the window?!? "Who opened the window?" I always ask only to be met with blank stares, pretending that they didn't understand my question. I'll close it, then later have to pop back into the office for something, come back and...ta-da, the window's open again. Damn poltergeist!

Actually, it's fan-death averted.

If a fan or a/c is on, it is believed that a window should be open a crack. Otherwise, you'll meet your demise. I've also been jumping into taxis lately and the a/c will be on, but windows are cracked open. Don't they know this negates the effects of the air conditioning?

So it looks like I'll suffer through the sticky humidity of rain season with pseudo-air conditioning.

If I die, which it looks like I will, you'll know it won't be because of fan death.
