What a difference an extra fan makes.

So, I mentioned the other day my air conditioning is on the fritz. In Oklahoma this time of year it is hot, humid, and disgustingly muggy. I have a fan, but it wasn’t doing much. I borrowed my dad’s, which he told me just to keep, and what a difference it made. It’s a tower fan that rotates, but I keep it pointed straight at me. I’m still going to bug the apartment manager (and complain to housing if it takes long) to fix the air conditioner, but for now I’ll be good. It’s not cold, but it’s more than bearable. A couple of years ago it took 18 days to fix my air conditioner in the middle of May, and it was miserable. I couldn’t even complain because they needed to get on the roof, and it was raining and storming. Plus, the part they needed was taking forever to arrive. I remember my friend coming over, talking to me, and in the middle of the conversation simply yelling, “It’s so hot!” I had the fan on me at the time. I encouraged her to come sit by me because I loved her, but I wasn’t moving the fan to face her. She knows I get sick in the heat, so she understood. What kind of fans do you have? Do you use them often? How many of you are lucky enough to have ceiling fans?
