September 30th, 2005i am cold
It’s freezing and I’m very cold. It’s 59º, and I know you’re thinking.. “that’s not cold, what’s your problem?” It is too. Especially today. I don’t know why in particular, but the coworker thinks it’s because I’m not wearing socks. Sure, OK. Maybe.
After a fruitless (on her part) argument about turning on the heat, it is on and I am ensconced in a blanket and I am still cold. Grrr.
Now, it’s quite possible it’s because the window is also open. I like fresh air and there is a fly that is in the office that I haven’t been able to annihilate. Damn fly.
The coworker just shut the window again. The fly is still in here, I am still cold and now there is no fresh air.
She says that it’s stupid to have the heat on and the window open… but a) we don’t pay the gas bill and b) the fly won’t die.
Am I the only one who puts on the heat and opens the window? (I do it in the car too.)
I do it in my car too. I have heard lots of stories where people die in tehir cars due to teh heat so I dont wanna fall too as a fly…
BTW, how much is 59 ion oC?

No you’re not the only one – I do it too. it gets too stuffy with the heating on so i open the windows and then i just have to be really picky about where i sit so i don’t freeze my ass off. makes sense to me…

No, you’re not alone. Is it really such a crime to want warmth and fresh air at the same time?
Although, you could just put on a jumper….
(That was me channelling my mother!)

Get a little electric heater for down by your feet. That’s what all of the women in my office do.
Of course, that’s the only heat we have; we live in Hawaii.

Thanks Ms. Mac.. and I’ll go look for a jumper, lol. 😉
Shut up Grampa. Mean, mean, mean. It’s Hawaii.. why are they cold?

15° inside an office? That’s torture!
I do that as well, sometimes. Mostly because I smoke.
Comment by Anne — September 30, 2005 @ 3:27 pm
Ah yes.. window open for the smoking. Been there.. 🙂

You’re cold, covered up, stalking a fly and they are paying you to do what?

Some people are so lucky lol
Okay so you want to get together for drinks and commiserate (did I spell that right?) we can do that, but we go in my car…..the convertible. 😛
I’ll put the top down and DARE you to turn on the heat LMAO!! Bloody Mary’s all around and a good time will be had by all 😉

Me: Lucky bastard Grampa is, that’s for sure. 🙂
Shannon.. nice. 😛 LOL No, I wish I was lucky and had a normal job. As it is, I work all the time and deal with a crazy Boss.
And you have a convertible?! Excellent.
I’m thinking about being in the Pittsburgh area around Thanksgiving… close to you? If so, we’ll definitely go for a drink. 🙂

For so many reasons.

a Sigh from me about the window. happened to me this morning in the bus. cold out. everyone dressed warm and cosy in the bus … the whole smelling yucky and stale and a lady came and closed all the windows … 🙁

Pittsburg is not that far from me, about 3 hours or so, so yeah I could come up to see you, just depends on when in the week. With school being what it is, I wouldn’t be able to make that trip during the week. Yet if it’s over a weekend…..I’m on my way!
Comment by Shannon — October 1, 2005 @ 8:27 am
Prerona.. ick, I hate that.
Shannon: I’ll let you know. 🙂

gotta have the window open with the heat on – especially considering my landlady is going through ‘the change’ and has been known to crank it so high… ugh.
