I work in a beautiful downtown office building! Well, half the time I work from there… The other half of the time, I work from home, which has become commonplace while in the epidemic, right? I am lucky in that I still have a task, and I am grateful, too… One thing I am not grateful for, though, is the battle I get into every time I am in the office! You might guess it is a fight with our boss, however it’s not.
Well, then, you guess it might be with someone in one of the other offices in the building, however it is not.
The battle I seem to engage in every day is the office’s Heating and A/C equipment, and in the summer, the air conditioning in our boss’s office never gets down to the thermostat setting he likes, so what does he do? He sets our thermostat way too low inhope of the cooling reaching his office, however so, in Summer I am freezing due to the air conditioning in our boss’s office! NOw that Winter is here, and it is always freezing or close to it, I am still freezing! The Heating and A/C heating doesn’t seem to get sizzling enough. I finally got sick of it and ordered an electric portable oil furnace for our office. I plug that thing in and put it on the floor and soon I have lots of heating blowing on our feet and warming me from the bottom up… Periodically I am so freezing that I put the little oil furnace right on our desk. People laugh at me when I do that, despite the fact that I undoubtedly don’t care. Without the heater, it is too freezing for me to be able to type, and since I want to keep our task, I do what I have to do.
