My nose is running and it's 2383 degrees outside

So the east coast is going through some serious heat wave right now. It practically takes my breath away every morning when I step outside to the 100 degrees of yuckiness. And there are all these reports of energy companies asking people to conserve and lay off the A/C as much as possible and turn off unneccessary appliances and what not. So what do you think the engineers in my lab building do?? They shut off half the lights yet increase the A/C so it's 10 degrees colder than it was a week ago. Seriously, it feels like it's 50 inside. I'm wearing jeans, 2 shirts, and a lab coat and I'm still freezing my butt off. My nose even started running. How in the world does this make sense? How can smart people be so dumb sometimes??

Oh and yesterday the fire alarm went off in our building, and they evacuated everyone, but for some reason all the people in my lab thought it was a test so no one budged. That's really reassuring to know.

hahaha one of the girls who sits in the same lab area as me just left cuz she couldn't stand the cold. this is ridiculous.
