Last 5 days were the hottest in last 10 years at least. 44-45 degrees officially (imagine how much in the sun)! So of course everyone who can stays indoors with the AC on. This caused a major energy shortage and on 2 days the Electricty Authority cut off all AC appliances. Almost all rooms in my office except for one* were without AC on 2 afternoons. It was so damn hot that HR had mercy and sent the following email:
''As the Electricity Authority has cut off the Air conditions in our Area and the heat is unbearable in some of our offices you may leave if you find it difficult to cope''
[ after that even those who could easily cope made an effort to find it difficult to cope to go home!].
* Of course it was my office that had the AC, which was good as I did not suffer the heat, but because of that I was not eligible for extra afternoons off :(
