I truly don't understand why Germany doesn't believe in air conditioning. It's so nasty being stuck performing manual labor tasks in a long-sleeved, collared uniform in the middle of the summer in a building with no air conditioning. Did I mention that the conferences kitchen also has no AC or air vents, and we are constantly running the dishwasher and brewing HOT coffee in there? You can probably start to get a sense of just how hot and humid that might be.
...Yes, I do realize our men and women in uniform have it much much worse than I do trying to survive in the desert in heavy uniforms and many pounds worth of gear, so I don't mean to be a baby about it. But it is rather uncomfortable and I feel decidedly gross and sticky tonight after coming home from work.
