Humid Buildings
I absolutely love my job! I started working when I was sixteen to help supplement my family’s income after my father’s passing.
I have been working for the same company for over twenty-five years and I couldn’t be happier to continue working with them until I retire.
I primarily work in the warehouses on the property, but about two days a week, I get to work in the office doing secretarial jobs. The warehouses that I work in are, for the most part, super hot and humid. There is only air conditioning in one of the warehouses. It can be really tough working in a hot warehouse all day, but to me, the worst part is the the high humidity. It gets so humid in the the buildings that it makes it hard to breathe. Since many people have complained about the high humidity in the buildings, my manager had a large dehumidifier installed in each one of the warehouses. I’m not sure why they didn’t just install air conditioners in the buildings. I was told that the only reason we got the dehumidifiers was because the company got a great deal on them and was trying to compete with another company. It doesn’t matter to me the motive behind it; I am just so thankful to have some relief from the terribly humid days in the warehouse. My employer gives me office work two days a week really just to get me out of those warehouses and into a nice air conditioned office. Although working in the warehouses is just as tiresome as ever, the dehumidifiers surely did make it a tad more comfortable place to work.
