Work and heat

It was crazy hot today, I almost died going to work. Luckily, work is always adequately cooled and is one of the most comfortable environments to be in, in Japan during the summer. In order to be "environmentally friendly" (a.k.a. cut costs) many companies in Japan follow what is known as cool biz style which allows workers to dress more casually to keep cooler. By doing this many companies raise the temperature in the office, which uses less energy but also leaves many workers stuck in hot offices all day. I love that my work does cool biz but still is concerned about comfort so they keep the air conditioner running all day.
