Neither does half the Fire Department!

Which is why the Office is *HOT* and the AC is *Frozen* for
half the darn summer!

Left ALONE - the AC can stabilize the Office to a comfortable 70-75 degrees,
and a decently low humidity level = *nice*.

In comes a *HOT* Freddy Fireman ... *UGGH* - too HOT in here ...

He >*CRANKS*< the Temp Dial down to "Way Too Cold" -
and usually leaves before any change is possibly noticed.

So there's the Poor AC - doin its darndest to get the temp down
to the requested setting of 10 degrees below ZERO

Then one of two things happens ...

1) Somebody comes in and notices it's "almost 5 Below" and either
shuts it OFF, or dials it UP to "Way too HOT" ... and HE leaves;
-or-
2) The Poor Thing just *Freezes Up*!

A day or so later, we have Sauna-like temp & humidity in the Office;
and the Poor AC is either a solid block of ice or Soooo Far Behind
it'll take a week to drag the temp down to "breathable" ....

And the Cycle Continues!
