i see 3 options:

1-move your desk to the basement
2-move your desk outside
3-get naked

#3 is the best solution

Why can't we all just get along?

EDIT: There is a thermometer in the cubicle next to mine. It's reading 82.5. My fricking brain feels like it's about to melt.

82.5? That's it? That means they must all have space heaters under the desk, too, right?

Set up a nuclear reactor there, melt them, then turn stat to 70 and go back to work.

Another being to aid in effortless cropdusting? Interesting... *rubs chin*

Hook up a vantec tornado to your pc with a long molex extender... portable fan .

I've worked in offices where the women always had the thermostat set low. It was like working in a freezer.

The character Kyra Sedgwick plays in The Closer reminds me of half the women I worked with. Walking around flapping and fanning themselves with their hands. I almost set up a space heater under my desk.

82.5 is ridiculous, go postal.

Good god...82? WTF? My core systems start to overheat at 75...I'd be dying in there. Just turn it down and disconnect the wires to the thermostat or something.

we had same situation in office and though we kept the thermostat "neutral", there was still alot of complaining by the ladies. They did try, wearing layers and also wearing sweaters. Easiest compromise was a small radiant heater that set at their feet. they were nice and warm, and we got to lower the thermostat. Unfortunately i had to buy the radiants, but it was an easy compromise

I think I'm going to go do some work in the server room for a while - maybe the rest of the afternoon. It's always borderline frosty in there.

Of course I'll need some prono music. Let's see what I can dig up...

God, I would kill for those gals, the woman (yes, one woman) here that controls the thermostat has the AC on every other day... It's 10F outside.

I should get a damn space heater....

 

[NuclearNed]

It's going up. 83.5 now.

I think I'm on the trail of the culprit - one of the VP's was talking to me and said that the offices on the outside wall of the building were really cold. The entire outer wall of these offices is glass, so they probably just hemmorage heat.

 

[SunnyD]

Funny, you're name is NuclearNed and you're complaining about heat. Ironic!

Reminds me of college... they had the heat on in the summer and the AC on in the winter...
