Idiot at work

[Klynne]

Well, the battle of the air conditioning has begun at work.

There is this old lady at work that is always warm. She walks up to the thermostat and cranks it all the way down. It was 58 degrees at my desk today. I went to the boss, and she wrote an all employee e-mail, and told everyone not to touch the thermostat. I wasn't the only one that was freezing. The old biddy cranked the air up again. I know we all have different tolerances to the heat, but geez. I gave her my fan, lord knows I don't need it with the fricken air blasting down on me.

*waves hand*

same here! i'm always at work in summer with 2 sweaters on, one usually a roll neck. it's awful. :(

ew. I'm ALWAYS cold. The worst is being the sober driver in a car full of drunks insisting that all the windows are rolled down and it is freezing outside. Grrr.

Like the old joke goes, you can always drop 'em all off at the wrong houses. ;)

See? There's a sunny side to everything!

i work in the complete opposite, i work with a man who is always cold, although he is about 100 years old ....

My husband is always warm. He jumps in a hot tub in the middle of a snowstorm and then jumps into a snowbank afterward. He sleeps with the windows open in March.

I have learned to adjust. I prefer to add a few layers of clothing than to argue about the thermostat, especially with the price of heating the house.

But in summertime, he is never hot. We have to beg him to let us leave the air conditioning on.

I think he's Mr. Freeze.

[dinzdale]

...yeah but it's a nice 102 at your shack.

[bealeblues]

hell yeah it is... makes the beer taste colder and the swamp water feel better when you swing off the rope swing on the porch into the swamp

[Coffee]

I always pictured an old tire swing...with the bottom filled with rain water and mosquito larve.

[bealeblues]

that's on the back porch. couldn't fit that on the front b/c of the old 'fridgerator and the rusted washing machine.

“…Turn it up, turn it doooown!
Turn it up when the cold brings you down!
If the heat bothers you turn it down!
Turn it up, turn it doooown!

As I was just saying,
as I was just saying,
as I was just telling you a minute ago!
I was talking and
someone interrupted
or was it a loud explosion?
Or is the thermostat engulfed in flames or is it just me?…”
