The Office - Episode #1: The Arctic Tundra

The person who sits in the cube behind me apparently reigns supreme over the thermostat in my little square of cubes. He assures me he keeps it set at 76 degrees (his clock has a thermometer on it) and that that is perfectly normal, and he never changes it. That would be fine if I didn't think he was LYING. There is no way it is more than like 66 degrees in here. Otherwise if I came in wearing long pants and a long sleeved shirt I would be FINE, but I'm NOT. I often end the day with fingers that are numb and turning a lovely shade of purple. I kid you not, my hands are numb by the end of the day. As it is I've only been in the office for approximately 1.5 hours and I get already feel the goosebumps starting on my upper arms (though today I am in a short sleeved dress, so fie on me for not dressing properly when the temperature OUTside is supposed to be 95!!). The reason I question his ability to keep it set on 76 is the fact that the actual gauge/box thingie is BEHIND his cube wall and you have to reach down behind it to adjust it. HOW DO YOU KNOW ITS SET AT 76?!?!! YOU CAN'T. And I'm turning into a cube of ice because of it. I started bringing a sweater to work, the sad thing is that even with my homeless grandma sweater my fingers are still freezing, what's the next step - gloves?!?
