Sorry to diverge from the already off-topic topic, but this one couldn't go without being shared: It's really hot in the room we work in today. We've been trying to cool it down in here, but I just heard from a co-worker of mine (who heard it from our boss) that the heating and air conditioning in our room (which is in a much larger building here in northern IL) is actually managed/monitored by a group in India, where supposedly there is a call center that handles such matters. It's hot and stuffy in the cave right now (we refer to the room we work in as the cave, since there are no windows or signs of the great outdoors) -- everyone is hot and complaining about it. Anyway, this co-worker just told me that our boss apparently called the maintenance people to compliain about the excessive heat problem this morning, but his call was routed to a call center in *India*, where the person there logged a ticket for the heat to be turned down. That ticket was logged, but in the end the problem is due to the fact that the heat was left on, and the person who can turn it down is out today. So, in spite of our *international* effort to make sure we're all comfortable in our office buildings, the ticket logged in India is being unanswered by a vacationing maintenance worker who is simply not around to cut the heat back a little.
It's already bad enough that the Cubs lost. And now we have to deal with calling people in India to make it cooler in here!?! This is absolute foolishness! I've had enough of this place! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
