It’s November 3rd! It’s cold in NY! It’s almost winter.
Why do we not have the heat on in our office.
Screw this, I’m going to lunch.
It’s nice and warm here. A/C is still on. Come, visit Florida! You know you want to! 
← bring your sunscreen and sunglasses.
I used to be the accompanist for the choir when I was in high school and I had the same problem. I always wore gloves on the way to the concert no matter what the temperature and then once I got to the concert I would soak my hands in a sink of warm water until it was time to play.
I don’t suppose that would be convenient in an office situation, though.
Why don’t you tell the office manager it’s cold and ask him to have the heat turned on?
The office manager is a really old Italian gent who, whenever I ask him for anything, says “Sure, hon”, and “Of course, dolly” and completely ignores whatever I say.
Aargh.
The real capital of NY eh? You’re welcome to come sit in my extraordinarily hot cubicle then. How they can get a 23 floor building to be sooo hot is just beyond me.
Maybe it’s menopause…
TellMeI’mNotCrazy, sorry, I’m going to visit Shib in Florida.
Sunny skies, here I come!
Don’t forget a bathing suit… turns out we’re a bit more conservative here than I would have guessed, so public nudity might offend some people.
It’s currently 84 F, but with the 54% humidity it feels like 90. Supposed to cool down a bit on Friday, though, with the highs only in the high 70s. Overnight lows around 60. Brrr! Might want to bring some mittens!
84 degrees?
84 FRICKIN’ DEGREES???
It was 49 here yesterday, and I was thinking, “Gee, it’s warm. I like this. I hope it lasts.”
You sonofabitch.
Hey wait, aren’t you in your 40’s? Adopt me! Pretty please?
Nah, two kids are enough. And I’m in my early 40s, which doesnt, IIRC, make me old enough to be your father. I could use a young, beautiful mistress who spurns my geriatric advances though, if you want to go that route. 
Yeah, but we pay for it in the summer time. 4 months ago, our overnight low would have been 84, with daytime highs into the high 90s with 99 - 100 % relative humidity and no rain. Oh, and that was punctuated by hurricanes here and there.
I’m not in Florida, but about half an hour ago is the first time I’ve been able to turn off the AC and open the windows without smothering from heat and humidity since last spring. Trust me, living in a warm climate ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
My hands get really cold, too, though. I worked in one office where my desk was under the AC outlet that blew air out so cold that I had to wear two sweaters indoors all summer, even when it was 100° outside, and would have to regularly go into the bathroom and run hot water on my hands to warm them up to where I could function. That’s when I brought in one of those illegal heaters. We’d all just hide them when the fire marshal came around.
You see, what you need to do is convince your employer to retrofit the area you work in to be independant from the building’s HVAC system. It’ll only run them about 15,000.00
I work in a 24/7 environment that has had this done, and let me tell ya, having control over the working environment is wonderful!
I use programmer’s gloves.
Normal woolen gloves with the finger-bits cut off, so your fingers can still accurately hammer the keyboard while remaining toasty warm.
There’s probably a “correct” name for it, but thats what my friends and I call it.
Are you rich? Will you keep me in the style befitting a much younger mistress? Because if so, I’m on my way. And I promise you, I will never ever have kids and try to scalp you for money. Just a nice condo, overlooking Miami Beach, with sunshine. Then you can come over anytime. Oh, and a trip to Disneyworld every now and then.
Your wife might not approve, however.
We’re a not-for-profit. I think the public might just *maybe * look askance on that.
Here in my office they are “fixing” the roof. Because of the tar that they are using they have to turn off the roof-top air unit. Because of the leaks they have created, they had to cover our cubes in platics. It is just about 4 degrees less hot than the sun at the moment. I’ll trade you heat for your cold
What is it with Florida office buildings anyway??? It’s a balmy 78 degrees outside right now at 10:30 in the am and I can hear the durn AC crankin’ like this was the middle of July! It’s so cold in my cubicle you could hang meat. :mad:
