What I don't appreciate is when "the powers that be" keep the office at an ice-box temperature. How do they expect me to function in that kind of environment? I keep a jacket at the office all sumer long to fight off frost bite and take regular trips outside to defrost in the blazing heat.
The first summer I was at this office, I entreated the IT guy to assist me in my plight, and get the temperature turned up a few notches. Come to find out the thermostat is locked in a plastic box which is nailed to the wall. I don't know who can get there, the IT guy doesn't know and it seems I haven't been able to find anyone who knows how to control the temperature in the office.
So here I am into my third summer. I have the features editor in a sweater, my editor with a space heater under his desk and coworker around the corner from me wrapped in a blanket. Yep. This is going to be another chilly summer.
