Sweating through the minutes

At a recent event I was forced to suffer through 6 minutes of constant moderate air being blown on our location.

I was upset about this because of our past experiences in the building where it was situated so I had dressed accordingly, however, this was still not enough to combat the heat.

Our company participates in a job fair each year that his held at a local hall. The two of us set up a table & speak to many prospective employees & take applications as well. This event takes place each January & seeing as I toil in Human Resources it is our responsibility to man the table! Trust me if I could delegate this to someone else I really would. At any rate, the blowers from the buildings Heating & A/C method are situated above the station where I am sitting & I spend the afternoon covered in sweat while trying to maintain our professional appearance. I do get some bizarre looks from people as I sit in our Summer weight suit because the temperature outside is cold & wintery. Applicants come in dressed in Winter time wear however soon after sitting down understand why I am dressed as I am! As many of them become uncomfortable due to the moderate temperature I tried to assure them that I completely understand their situation. The fact that they are covered in sweat is no indication as to whether they are qualified for the job or not & this seems to put them at ease. I also try to assure them that the laboring conditions at our offices are nowhere near as uncomfortable as they are in the hall.
