About 10 years ago I went on a company sponsored reward event for good employees.  I was a manager and I took a few of my employees along.  It was in Chicago and we decided we wanted to go to an amusement park.  It was 46c and not one hint of a breeze.  We were outside for 4 hours.  I almost passed out.  One of my employees did for a second on a coaster.  I was pouring $4 bottles of water on my head :P  We drove back to the hotel and the power water was out.  Something about generators overloading due to a huge spike in power demand.  So I couldn't shower. Now, I'm a guy who does sweat and in 46c i sweated like a horse outside of a glue factory.  We had a dinner to go to and there was no way I was going in my current condition.  The owner called me and told me I had to go right away (I think I got some award or trinket that collected dust on my desk.)  So I took bottled water and washed the stinkiest bits and went. 

Horrible...
