I'm about to attempt my second summer without an air conditioner. That heat wave in NYC last summer was no fun, but I managed. I spend a lot of my work day outdoors, though, so one gets used to it.
BuffyM, if it happens to your workplace again and you have a freezer or fridge there, I suggest getting two of those U-shaped seed-filled things covered in fabric that people microwave to put on sore muscles. You can also chill them. When it was averaging 95 degrees here last year I would get home, throw one of those around my neck and wear it until it warmed up. I'd then switch it out with the other one in the freezer.
A spritzer bottle of water mixed with peppermint oil is also a good cooler. Just don't get it in your eyes; it stings.
