Freezing

This last week Dallas has had a break from the heat. But the temperatures are going back up into the triple digits this weekend.

So why is my heading to this post "freezing"?

Our office is over air conditioned! To the point that I have a heater on, at my feet, most days at work! I think I have a theory on why it feels like a walk-in freezer:
  • They think that bankers should be wearing a suit all day, which is layers of clothing. I don't wear a suit...
  • More people in the country are a bit (or more) overweight and they have to cool the building to accommodate them. The people with less body fat are the ones who are cold...
  • The building managers think that the hotter it is outside the colder it should be inside. I usually wear lighter clothing in summer...
  • These same people just love winter! I don't....
I'd rather be sweating a little bit than being a bit chilly. I prefer the temperatures to be in the 90s rather than the 60s.

Does anyone else have this problem?

BBRRRRrrrrr.....!!

Yes, I have the same problem at the office. You're not alone. I don't have a heater at my feet but sometimes I wish I had...

Work places are always extreme - too hot or too cold.
I'd rather be cold than hot. I can always put on a sweater if cold but can only get so naked if hot. Hmmm...I think I know why you like to be a little sweaty.

Yes Jim, it's a chronic problem. As a buidling manager, I can say that I can never seem to get it right. There are all sorts of reasons why, but that'd bore you to tears. I will say this, if there is a thermostat near you, your little heater is gonna fight with the building a/c. The building a/c will win.
:D

our office thermostat is set at 80; and we are cool but not freezing.

heat, however, is a problem. I need a space heater under my desk to stay warm during the winter. and so do several of my co-workers.

It is ironic the clinic treats bipolar conditions, for the AC either runs too cold or is off, then we roast.
