Well New York City is currently experiencing a heat wave with temperatures in the 100s. Today is supposedly the last day of this heat wave, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

quote:Originally posted by WizArtist II: The office I work in has what we call "Thermostat Wars". I and a fellow co-worker are in offices that get no cross ventilation and have west-facing windows. Both of us like it cool. We have this idiot woman in our office that is always cold in the dead of summer. If she had her way, we'd have the heat on when its 70 degrees outside. The thermostat for our section is between my office and my co-worker and right across from the kitchenette. So the idiot is always 'washing her cup', then there's this pause and you hear the 'click click click' of her turning the office thermostat up to 77F or higher. Typically this will mean our two offices will be about 80-82F. So we go right behind her and crank it down to 70. This goes on all summer and she gets mad at us for not respecting the fact that she's cold. Forget the fact that she dresses in flimsy almost see-through crap (NOT a good thing) and we have to wear long sleeve shirts and slacks. We're wrong for not acquiescing to her widdle feewings. She expects us to accommodate her. She firmly believes that the 'average office temperature is supposed to be 78F'. But she also corrected our personnel director telling him that his use of the word 'grammatically' was wrong....that the word was 'grammoricly'. This to an individual who was an English major and worked in the public school system for 20 years. Then she wonders why she isn't respected? Total, complete, IDIOT.
My theory is: You can always put more clothes on, but there's only so much you can take off...legally.
I supposed you've tried telling her to put some warmer clothes on, that it's 2 versus 1, telling your boss she's wasting company money burning more fuel, and all the more direct solutions, so...Rip the fucking thermostat off the wall

Gorilla Glue the theromstat at 70- if she forces it, it'll just break and she'll get blamed.
That, or rebar her in the parking lot.

Almost certainly - assuming they hire me!
Very kinky. Get one with air-conditioning. I understand the ones with giant heads (Micky, Donald, etc.) have AC built in. I'd imaginr employees would reek or pass out from heat stroke otherwise.
They'll probably send you off to some "re-Nedjucation camp" to teach you how to be a cherry corperate mascot.

We've actually talked about coming in one weekend and making a dummy, moving the real one to our offices in an inconspicuous area and putting the dummy in its place.

If she turns the thermostat up, the air conditioning will run less. She'd be saving the company money, so you probably shouldn't bring it up.

Right. I was thinking....heat, furnace on. Cuz I have a brain. I swear.
Disney costume: I doubt much re-Nedjucation is needed (lovely reference btw) because those rotten little snotrags can't see you inside the thing. I bet all the happy-looking flailing and posing would, via X-Ray Specs, be revealed to be creative ways of flipping off the crowds.

I live in Denver now, the weather is in the 90s. This is my first summer in Colorado and I'm kind of surprised at the heat. Winter though is nice and cold. I love the cold. Up to me temperature would never exceed 60. However the mountains by my apartment still have snow. I drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park the other week to do some hiking about 2 miles above sea level (Denver is 1 mile above sea level) and while up there the snow was still knee deep (I'm 5-11 for reference).

I am that tall also. while I like it cold, I don't appreciate waking up to snow up to my waist, as often happens here in the winter and early spring. Only 60F here today though, not that bad.

I've never seen (natural) snow that would even cover my ankles. I prefer it that way. Haven't seen any appreciable snow in a few years now.

I *love* snow. I love it waist deep but that hasn't happened since I was a little kid...

As much as I hate to shovel it, the period after a heavy snow is absoutly beautiful. Around here, it is almost postcard perfect, with sno hanging from trees, and covering rooftops, all undesturbed and perfect.
