Heat

It should be illegal to build office space in the second floor of a warehouse with a flat metal roof, with barely-opening windows only on one side. Ascending the stairs is like rising into a fiery, airless hell. Even two desktop fans is not enough to make it bearable. Thank goodness for pear cider and ice cubes. [EDIT: Said cider not consumed at work, but after getting home.)

(Also, thank goodness that, unlike Pellinor, I don't have to spend the weekend running around in full armour, and sleeping in a greenhouse-like tent. I'd rather have torrential rain in a tent than full sunlight from dawn.)

Do not, under any circumstances, let your bosses talk to ours. No alcohol while on duty (or before duty), under any circumstances.

Oh, I didn't have the alcohol on duty - that's a strict no-no. I just had a nice cool glass of pear cider upon finishing my too-hot walk home after the far-too-hot day at work. We finish at 4.30 on Fridays, so my home time was nice and early.

I'm not entirely sure what our school policy is, but when your HoD opens the Departmental Fridge, full of beer confiscated during various school trips, it would be churlish to refuse at least a token sip...

We have champagne in the office when a student qualifies. Indeed, there is a bar in the office, usually open something like 5 - 7.

Yes, that ought to be illegal.

Perry! Yummmmm

It's OK, I didn't do much sleeping.

The chap in the small dome tent next to my palace did remark, with a certain meaningful intonation of which I know not the meaning, on the fact that although my bed was bigger than his tent (including guyropes) he'd actually bothered to use his :-)
