So every year around this time the battle of the thermostat commences. In our office I seem to sit in a hot pocket. No, not the microwavable entree, an area of the office that seems to end up being a few degrees warmer than anywhere else. There are others in the office that feel that the current temperature is fine (even a little to cold). It doesn't help that the people who think it's to cold sit in an area of the office that is just that, cooler. They are always jacking the thermostat up, which turns our area of the office into an oven. The most obvious solution to this dilemma is to swap places, this would never fly. It happens that the cooler area of the office has windows, we do not. So I put it to the good folks of EB.com, how hot is to hot? How cold is to cold?
I keep my thermostat at home at or above 78 degrees when the A/C is on (like they tell you to). But at home I can wear whatever I want (or nothing at all). I have ceiling fans to help cool me too. Here in the office I am compelled to comply with the company dress code (closed toed shoes, long pants, collared shirt, etc.). There is no air movement what so ever. Getting a fan doesn't work b/c it blows the papers around on my desk. In the office, anything above 75 degrees and I start sweating. It's gross. I'm sticking to my chair as we speak. I'm this close to saying F the dress code, I'm changing into shorts and flip flops. ldman:
