It's raining in California, but it is tropical in my office.

We have central heating on (set to 70 degrees), but two of my co-workers are blasting space heaters at their feet. It's about 78 degrees in here. They are wearing scarves and sweaters, I have stripped down to my t-shirt.

It is hotter than summer, but the heaters are still going.

It's 84 degrees in here. No air or heat on and the windows are open. And, I'm in Chicago.

That is crazy! Doesn't sound like Chicago.

What I don't understand is, if it was 78 outside, they would be wearing light clothes.

But because it is winter, they are acting like it's freezing in here no matter what the temperature is.

I just looked up the weather, it says it's 77 there too!

Our heaters just turned off, I wonder if I work with Prince fans

That's such a fucking waste of resources. Heating actually costs a lot of energy.

Apart from that, it's not that healthy to be in the very warm all the time.

Space heaters are the most wasteful way to heat a place, too.

My feeling is that heat is addictive. You sit by the heat, and then it feels colder when you move away from it, even though it's actually quite warm.

My wife works here.

Suffice to say that it's HOT, baby!

Oh, definitely! Your body regulates the temperature accordingly and needs time to adapt from trying to cool it down to actually heating the body again. This process is also quite exhausting and that's why heat it produced in some areas of your body when you walk from very warm to warm/cold and you still don't feel the heat immediately. As your body starts to work and try to produce warmth, you still start to sweat, which makes you feel even colder.

The more we go into detail, the more proof we have that those co-workers of yours are absolute idiots!

It's either the artics or the damned amazon forest, no happy medium.

i have the hottest room in the house

it has to be REALLY COLD to be cold

in here. i have to foil my windows to keep

the temp down most of the year.

in the summer it get's up to 120degrees

its always at 21 degrees c at work, not 2 hot n not 2 cold!!!

btw i luv my job, i luv my work and i luv where i work!!! i dont care if they turn the tempreture down to 10 degrees c...... i will never leave ~ they r stuck with me

To me my office stays cold throughout the year, doesn't matter what the weather is outside. I wear my floor heater out. I cut it on every day and it stays on until I get off.

Although it's been feeling great outside lately, the hospital I work at took the unseasonably warm weather to mean that it is time to start cranking the A/C.

So needless to say, I carry a warm jacket to work and only put it on when I get to my ice cold desk

Why do jobs keep it so friggin cold!! Every where I have worked has always been FREEZING cold! Especially in the summer!

it's always cold here. in the winter, around 61 degrees, in the summer, around 59 degrees. last year i never once wore summer clothing to work

I have no ide the actual temperature here, but I am someone who is almost always cold.

Yesterday my coworker asked if it was stuffy. I realized that I wasn't actualy cold for once. She was hot.

And in the summer I have to layer. Sundress for the bus/bike ride (and I always wear tights, even in 85+ degrees), and I add a jacket or cardigan when I get to work or I'd be freezing.

69.8 F that is perfect!

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that women seem to be colder than men

I'm always hot. Long ago when I ran a restaraunt I would do my paper work in the walk in fridge. I wish worked had a walk in fridge!

That is exactly what I am wondering!

In fact, though, the HEATER is set to 70, but with their space heaters it is actually 78 in my office!
