So I always knew I would struggle working in Paris compared to being site based. But l bought a small thermometer which confirmed it's been hitting almost 30deg at my desk for some weeks now, and why I am almost passed out on the floor, shallow breathing, sweat pouring off me. It has not helped eating something I know which upset me for a week then going for Hep A and Yellow fever jabs, the side-effects frankly floored me. My new 4" USB fan however (second attempt because another Chinese ebay supplier conned me) has therfore created somewhat of interest in the office when I turn it ON at about 24 degrees when I first get to my desk in the morning. My colleagues appear to start taking their jumpers and scarfs off however only when it's closer to 26-27 in the office and all ventillation or A/C in my particular corner switched-off! Luckily I ordered 2 fans. They will both be employed soon as long as we can get past the lack of air issue as everyone else in the building seems to be OK with air-con running apart from my particular corner.
