A cold conference

Yearly, my church hosts a shopping trip event for any ladies of the church and their friends.

The goal is to give the ladies some time for them to enjoy themselves and go on a shopping spree.

It is one of the most popular weekends of the year. Everyone gets together in small groups and chooses their own shopping destinations. The entire group, though, stays in the same hotel, and we have a gathering in a conference room to discuss the first night, play games, and to provide questions and answers. Normally, this meeting is the best part of the whole trip, but this last time, it was a miserable experience. At the beginning of the meeting, everything was great. The thermostat was set for the perfect temperature, and the indoor quality of air was amazing. We were all having a great deal of fun. After a some time though, we noticed that we were getting colder. The air conditioning has been continuously running ever since we had started the meeting. The climate control was fine while we were running around and playing games, but once we stopped to achieve the more serious part of that meeting, the air conditioning was basically overbearing. It was the middle of summer, so we were all wearing light, summery clothes. Only a few of the older ladies had thought to bring a sweater. The pastor’s wife sent me to the front desk to ask about turning down the air conditioning. I visited the front desk, but they told me that air conditioning was its normal temperature, and they were not allowed to adjust it without authorization. They had to call in a manager just to get approval to adjust the thermostat. It was thirty minutes before we got some relief from the air conditioning!
