President's Day at a California Startup Company

[Rock Steady]

We are launching our first product in March, so everyone is very focused and trying to execute on our plan.

The VP of Finance polled employees if they planned to go into the office and work that day. He decided to pay the landlord the additional fee for Air Conditioning on February 20.

Thank goodness. Even with A/C, I manage the window blinds daily to avoid too much heat in my cubile. I think I'm going to have to change cubicles before summer hits if I am too hot in "winter".

There is a clause in our lease saying we can not have public web servers in our office space. CA landlords expect companies to have third-party data centers. Even so, we have staging servers and such, and a free-standing room A/C for the in-house server room.

In the middle of February, it's really hot in office cubilces here.
