I was a field service tech for most of my working career. While visiting Constellation Brands’ new corporate headquarters just outside of Canandaigua, NY I noticed above the receptionists’ desk was a huge sunroof. Hanging just below it was a kind of inverted sundial. The idea was that the shade would shadow the receptionist to keep her cool. Only thing was that the sun moves throughout the day.
She baked.
That’s a really fun story. Ideas are so good, and implementations of them can be so strange. Sounds like a fascinating job to have. All sorts of different environments and I’m sure some weird problems to solve.
I’ve spent a lot of time in Canandaigua. Gibson St. was named for my 3rd great grandfather, so I’ve researched there multiple times. Walked along what had been the railroad tracks trying to find old pieces of ties. Lovely historical society with really nice people.
