But maybe its time to get a heater, with fans and vents. Make a suggestion to whomever it concerns! I didn't know any office buildings still used radiators. Last time I saw one of those, it ws in my university's dormitory

Because people are by and large assholes and want to do things THEIR way or no way.
Same with neighbors and dogs. Its NEVER the dogs fault, its always YOUR fault for being so picky about what the dog is doing. (As an example)

I don't see any cows.

And my cat is too small. :(



Don't any of you have heaters in your offices? I know that I am in San Diego, but even we have heaters in our offices, and they are turned on maybe a few days per year.

I work in an 80+ year old building that probably still has a team of Irish immigrants stoking the coal boiler in the basement and little in the way of insulation.

That and the bastard who is next to the radiators keeps closing the valves. I swear to God I?m gonna come in one weekend and epoxy those fvckers in the open position.

Actually I am related to him, so all bets are off as far as civility goes.:D

I would expect courtesy to be a little higher than with a relative that with a normal co-worker. Relatives are far more civil, given a good relationship. If the two of you don't get along, thats a different story.

I am starving, I don't get lunch for another hour! What did you eat?

I was taken out for lunch the past two days so I am making up for that today. I had a can of campbell's chunky baked potato with steak and cheese soup and a couple of satsumas.

I am trying to get an idea about what to eat for lunch...Japanese, maybe Chinese today!

I live just outside of New Orleans. Tuesday, I ate shrimp stew over rice. Yesterday, I had catfish looziane (?sp) which is catfish fillets covered with crawfish stew.
