Summer colds and thermostats

[torontogal12]

This thread is from many years ago

I did wear a blazer like men and yes it was still cold. Considering I wrote that I needed a space heater and wore winter clothes at the office in June (and I wasn't the only one), I don't think I should be blamed for feeling cold at the time. There were exactly two men in that entire office and I don't see why this has become a gender issue.

I no longer work at that place. The new place has reasonable temperatures and I have heard exactly zero complaints in two years.

I work in a vet clinic. It's a constant battle of thermostats lol. I'm always hot though. And then add wrestling a 160 pound dog to the ground to give vaccines and well.... Sweeeeatttyyyyyy lol! We set it now and if I'm hot I stand over the vent. If someone's cold they put on a sweater haha!

Unfortunately, I've never worked in an office where everyone is happy with the temperature.

This is definitely true in my office. I work in a newer addition on the back of the building, which has a separate thermostat. I work in a corner with no vents, so I get very hot - the other ladies in my department have vents right by their desks, so they get cold. The other office connected to our thermostat has a ton of vents in a tiny space, so they tend to be cold (our thermostat is usually set to 74-75F)

The older part of the building has a separate thermostat, and the agents keep turning down the temp - but the receptionists, kitchen, and bathrooms have vents almost right under their feet - so it's freezing!

Oh, the last time I had to take our dog to the vet it was sweltering! I was not happy camper. Poor boy was already upset/anxious about being at the vet, add to that waiting in a hot, windowless exam room for almost 20 minutes just to see the vet - I was a very grumpy and sweaty pet owner, so I can only imagine how you feel working in that environment all day.

Shopping in malls with high A/C manages to make a quick shopper out of me. Could be an excuse to load up with popcorn at Kernels as a matter of personal warmth while walking the mall.

I'm glad that @torontogal12 has the temperatures just right at her current workplace.

Saturday was windy so I had all the windows open while baking a cake (it was just me at home). A few minutes before it was done, rest of family walked in and made comments about how hot it was. I was hoping they'd linger at the service longer so I could get the baking done without their noticing. Then later I had to get some pop and chill it, I felt so pancaked by the heat.

In my case, I don't like allergies....... I work from home, so it's quite cool......so I needed a blazer when needed...... In case of colds, wash your hands and don't touch your face!

In case of colds, wash your hands and don't touch your face!

And dont let someone else with dirty hands touch your face either!
