\"6<\/a>One of the things that I don’t like in our office is that air conditioners can be centrally controlled – switched on, switched off, temperature preset, etc. I understand the reasons behind this setup, but I still think it sux big time. As an example, consider my today’s night shift. I am alone in the office, noone from the maintenance department is here, and suddenly the temperature outside drops to 6 degree Celsius…<\/p>\n

If you don’t get it, let me explain a couple of things to you. Firstly, such low temperatures are really unusual for Cyprus at this time of year. Middle of March is more often seen as a start of spring and general warmth. This year though we even hear rumors of snow falling down in Troodos mountains.
