They had a server room (don't they always?) which desperately needed cooling, so they'd brought in some standalone air conditioner units. These units were fitted with long exhaust tubes, which had been trailed out of the server room, across the hallway, and into a vacant office with an open window. Which was now my office. And despite my (polite, first-day manners) concerns, the exhaust tubes had to stay. Oh, and the radiators were on as well, and couldn't be turned off. And it was July. And I was wearing a suit and tie. So although it won't ease your discomfort, I can at least assure you that it could be worse!
