[QUOTE="jedispork, post: 862991, member: 20091"] Someone passed out at our center but they came out ok. I haven't seen it yet but there is a paper going around questioning us about what we ate before work and if it was a heavy meal etc. Avoiding heavy meals and caffeine seems to help but questioning people about what they ate is getting ridiculous. Its very humid here which is whats causing a lot of the problems. Not many fans and some they took down and replaced it with a scanner. The bathrooms are closed in with no air circulation and everything is soaked in moisture. Not very fun if you have to drop a poop. I'm not saying I like the hot weather but its better than winter. I bring about a gallon of gatorade/water. I'm not into the bug fountains that are never cleaned. Sometimes I can feel chunks going down my throat when I drink out of it. The worst part is when they are not fair about who they let have days off. When its hot a lot of guys will take maybe 1 preload a week off if allowed. However we have certain people that call in several times a week and they also get the first choice to go home. When it cools off people magically start coming to work. [/QUOTE]
