The air con in ours is broken, and people wonder why the machines are only on for a few minutes at a time.... Nice and cool in the office, despite having 4 PCs and 2 set top boxes running around me Prof, I have found a few that work, but you have to ritually apply it and get used to it, it's a faff on tbh, I just shower often and use deoderant as I'd sweat from some part of my body or another....may as well just cover it up than stop it

I'm guessing that the original reason was nothing to do with sweat marks...

Probably more to do with Just postcount bumping ION Just finished a proactive visit to O'Reilly books and got loads of free books to take home.

I was sat on the tube today with sweat dripping off my nose. I couldn't help but laugh at the advert opposite me which said "Now might be a good time to remind you about Sure antiperspirant". Thing is, that's actually what I use. Sure super-power stick for Men. It's brilliant, but I only use it under my arms. It's my head that sweats mostly, and it's not practical to spray / rub / roll on antiperspirant in your hair. I've considered wearing a sweat band, but they look terrible and very quickly become filthy stinky grungy things. I already looked a bit scruffy wearing my string vest, baggy cut-offs and flip-flops. It's a real problem at the moment. I was in a posh fashion place working in such a position that my sweat was variously dripping on the keyboards, the girls, the monitors and the live server I had the lid off. Salty water + motherboard + volts = Bang. It bugged me they had aircon in the lobby but not in the office - it must have been almost 40 in there! I was mopping my brow with a hanky, but you could tell the girls were totally grossed out every time my sweat splashed onto them or their stuff. WTF are you supposed to do? There should be a law against working indoors in this weather without aircon

I'm having a lot of problems with sweating at the moment, soaking wet trousers/shorts aren't fun

You, me and the rest of the population We are not geared up for this sort of heat mentally, physically or air-conditioning wise.
