I’ve started wearing a hat and sunglasses to work. It’s not because I don’t want to be recognized. Everyone at the office knows me by now. The reason I’m wearing such accessories to work is that the sun is glaring in my face for most of the day, and it’s become extremely annoying! My desk space faces a big, bare window with the sun reflecting on it nearly constantly. In fact, all of the windows in our office space on our floor don’t have any kind of coverings at all. They’re just big windows exposing us to the sun whenever it’s sunny. Moreover, it’s sunny all the time, practically speaking. This really does expose us to a lot of light, but it also generates a lot of heat. I hear our HVAC system running nearly constantly, and I think it’s because it’s struggling to combat the heat generated from the sun glaring on the window panes! Let me tell you, the sun is winning that battle! What frustrates me the most is that my coworkers don’t seem to be as concerned with this. The sun glaring in my face all day and heating up the room is incredibly annoying to me. It’s to the point where I don’t care if I look silly wearing a hat and sunglasses. I think I’m also going to request a different area in the office to work: one that’s facing the inner wall that doesn’t have a window. Yes, I think that’s a great idea. That area is where many of the air conditioner vents are, which would more thoroughly cool me down.
