It was an angry, hot afternoon at the toy factory, then everything was normal until I felt a wave of heat and I knew something was wrong.
The a/c had failed, the temperature of the building was changing and it wasn’t comfortable one bit.
As I looked around, I could tell that my fellow co-workers were also feeling the heat. My friend Mark went to the office and took off her safety gear to cool off. A few others followed to do the same thing. Our safety gear is important to wear at all times while we are in the working area but when we are in the break room, we are allowed to take it off. After a few minutes, I couldn’t handle it anymore and I had to do the same thing as the others. We all were in the break room trying to stay cool. The break room is one location that has a fan in there but to me, it didn’t seem to work wonderfully because it was just circulating the rising heat temperature. An employee came into the break room after noticing the production was changing. As soon as she saw us all struggling with the heat, she knew something was wrong. She knew that she had to call the heating and cooling company to get out an heating and cooling tech instantly to look at the toy factory a/c. It didn’t take long for the cooling business to show up and she got to work instantly. In general, the factory is hot but when the a/c doesn’t work, then it turns into a boiler. After a short period of time, the heating and cooling tech inspected the issue and I felt the temperature start to drop. It was a nice, hot split but it’s time to get back to work.
