You might be right, we only use the air-con here during the summer months so 
I'll remember to check this next time I get a headache at work.  Given that 
I usually take holidays in the summer, there probably was some point where I 
returned back to an air-conditioned office and got a headache.

Another good point, if it's a dull day the office lights are way brighter 
than any light from outside (if it's sunny you don't notice they're on, so 
usually we keep them off to save power).

So it seems if the first day back in the office is a hot, dull day then I'm 
screwed!
