Air-con gone mad


This morning, which is actually a public holiday, I came to the lab and got called over to the common room by Littlefroggie. Lo and behold, the aged wall unit air cond was vomiting out little pieces of black and white styrofoam. It was also mumbling loudly, rattling and shaking. I confidently diagnose it to be suffering from indigestion and severe stress, having to work 24/7 for the past few years since it was born. There is sadly however, no cure. I say, let it RIP: rust in pieces.


Bravely, I decided to cut of its supply of electrons and ficked the switch off. Still, it worries me. The air cond is supposed to cool down the equiptment found in that area but if I shut it off, will the room overheat and cause a worse disaster to befall upon the labs?


Peering into the guts of the machine, all one sees is a dark cavern. No light at the end of this one.
