Space heaters have been specifically forbidden in this building. It’s discrimination I tell ya!
Years and years ago I worked with a woman who wore gloves and a hat-all summer long.
Currently I work in an old brick building with no centralized climate control. Our office suite is either way warm (perfect for me) or way cold-very little in-between. The building management just passed out space heaters. I think I’m going to be comfortable for the first fall/winter seasons in 6 years.
Luv the gloves!
Not only does your building allow space heaters, they <i>gave</i> them to you? No fair!
Now you just need to knit little hoods on them up by your fingers so when you aren’t typing you can pull them over your fingetips 
I actually do have a pair of gloves that do almost that. It’s got one big hood that I can flip back when typing, or put the hood on and they turn into mittens. When I saw them I <i>had</i> to get them!
Hott!
Wow, those gloves are sexy!
I’m one of those people. I keep my office down to a nice 60 degrees, and all of my employees have to bundle up. Even in mid-summer in Florida.
That’s the nice part about working in a clean room. same temp year around, plus you get to wear a nice warm gortex bunny suit!
Chad, you lost me with the bunny suit. What do you mean by a “clean room”?
clean room is basically just that. air controlled, absolutely no dust, no anything. they tell us it’s 10,000 times cleaner than a surgical room. and we have to wear the suits to keep us from contaminating it and screwing up our processors.
Oohhhh <i>that</i> clean room! You’re one of those guys in the space suits who work on processor chips! Very cool. So what happens when you sneeze?
were “supposed” to pull the helmet up and sneeze into the gortex. they call it “taking one for the team”. But that grosses the hell out of me, so I pull the face shield down and lean down as close as possible to the grated floor. The air flows strait down, so its all good.
Cold hand, warm heart...is how I believe the saying goes.
At one job I had, I kept a blanket at my desk. When it got too cold at my desk one day, I put it over my head like an extra from Fiddler on the Roof. On the day that they blasted me to where my hair was LITERALLY being blown nearly off my head, I used an umbrella at my desk. I don’t know why they feel the need to do that. Jerks.
I could not work in a place that was that cold. I like winter and all but not in an office!
I completely understand how you feel. I however do not have to deal with freezing at work, just at home! My husband is like Mr. Freeze! 
that is hilarious. I need to start doing that. maybe wear a parka too. those bastards just aren’t getting the hint.
This post really made me feel better! I thought I was the only one who didn’t like icicles hanging from the ceilings of offices and stores.
I have a disorder called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, and when the temperature drops below 70 degrees, the blood vessels in my fingers shut down and my fingers turn blue and get numb. You can imagine this causes difficulty for me in the workplace.It’s hard to type with gloves on. How do you do with the “holey” gloves and typing?
I used to keep a little space heater under my desk. Worked wonders.
