Chillers Not Working

“Dear Colleagues, We [who’s “WE”?] are aware the building
is extremely hot [has been for two month now, YOU make it
sound as if it’s been hot only since yesterday!]

“Chillers not working, aircon is off [chillers NEVER work when
it’s hot, only when it’s cool outside] “Technicians on site [saw
them, since they started on Monday the problem grew worse,
isn’t that just most remarkable and wonderful?]

“Please note once problem has been fixed, it takes 2-3 hours
for building to cool down [It will be cool for about one day - if
at all, before the chilled Children of Africa BLOCK the aircon
outlets then chillers immediately break down again]

Why don’t you build a nice big round hut with a big fire in the
centre so the Children of Africa can have their computers on
the periphery in a nice big circle - to stay warm while chatting
and living a happy life? - Then we idiots who feel the warmth

Of Africa as HEAT can have another round hut with an aircon
in the middle with chillers working, cool behind our computers
chatting and enjoying our workaday life?] - “We would like to
apologise for the discomfort and inconvenience.” [So get on

With it, this message doesn’t constitute an apology at all, we
are stuck in the heat losing consciousness from time to time,
no oxygen, no work satisfaction because we can’t think - no
fulfilment, living “sleeping sickness” in African time]
