oh come on, anyone could have done that! ;)
Actually, you're not far from the truth. We had a 16 year-old intern do the duct-sizing, knowing nothing about static pressure, diffusers, fan size, or how to use a Duculator. When I checked it, there was nothing to change...I think he must be a prodigy or something.
NOW I know why some of the rooms are 90 in the summer, while other rooms are 60... none are 70. And, in the winter, some are 50, some are 80, and none are 70... despite all the thermostats being set to 70.

Now why would all the thermostats be set to 70? MOB's like to keep it in the 66-68 degree range...and thus the VAV system was designed to deliver that...don't be pointing out flaws in my design, I'm very protective. ;)

I was going to say no....but i did. I just helped a buddy of mine from another department carry some boxes back to his area. It was quite a lot of work because of how fair the mailroom is from his area, but i guess i did something today.

That was about it though. The only reason i did it was because it was better than sitting at my desk for the hour we killed doing it. :D

I went golfing. I shot a 40, so that was pretty damn good for me. I'd say it was productive. I've made a difference in my golf game, though nothing else.

Well, I helped my dad move my girlfriends mom's washer and dryer... I guess that's productive.

Yes but barely. I basically just played video games all day and spent some time at the pool tanning.
