It's freezing in my office..
why is is so freaking hard to regulate temperatures in buildings?

Does the air conditioning really need to kick in when it's 45 degrees outside????

1. Mine is too hot!!!
I like having it cold, but I have the hottest office around. If I could wear shorts I would. We open the window in the winter (thank goodness for windows that still open)

10. Ha! Same here
in addition to my space heater, I also have a blanket for the winter months. I have a giant fan for the summer.

Ah, the joys of working in a 100 year old building.

8. Hell, it's better than living in an apartment
where the radiators are painted open. I sweat in here all the time and I hate the heat. Dammit.
