Air Conditioning

Do you have your own office? Have you tried covering the vent? In one office I worked in I was able to cover the vent in the ceiling with a trash bag and duct tape. In the current office I'm in, I have magazines/junk mail placed over the vent (vent is in the floor).
hope this helps. always keep a sweatshirt or sweater on hand.
(one job, I even put a lap quilt on my legs when I sat at my desk because I was so cold. and wore gloves with the fingertips cut out.)

I have always gone through that temperature thing. However, mostly I have worked with lots of women (read, going through various stages of menopause), and no one was ever happy. I had a space heater and a fan. Put on whatever one you want and tell those big boys to cowboy up and deal with it!

I don't have air at home, I have to use ceiling fans, but here at work we have airconditiong and I frequently get cold in the afternoon when it is running. Fortunately I have the control within a few feet and can roll my chair over to adjust, I usually bring a long sleve big shirt I can slip on when I get cold.

We have the a/c on here now - I just have to keep the guys from setting it at 64*, the boneheads! All that does is keep the compressor running until it freezes up. Sheesh.... The service mgr & I keep pushing it back up to 74 - 76*. At home, I have it set around 84* - 86* when I'm at work, that way it will usually come on in the late afternoon, not too long before I get home & the place won't be broiling hot. Then sometimes I'll put it down to 80* until the sun goes down. That way the house is comfortable for me, but my bill is not too big.

I can relate!! I used to have an "office sweater" -- you know, a grungy old thing that when the guys turned the AC to freezing in the summer, you put on? I was also known for going outside and sitting in the sun to get warm!!
Here at home, hubby keeps temp at 70 in the summer -- I didn't wear a pair of shorts in the house at all last year...

Boy, can I relate to this! I wear layers all year long. When I am at work, I FREEZE! And when I go into a store, I FREEZE! and when I go into a restaurant, the A/C finds ME! I Freeze all summer long! I carry a jacket or sweatshirt with me ALL the time and put them on to go indoors! If there is an A/C vent, I am always under it!
I don't use the A/C at home. I have ceiling fans, but don't use them all that much. I have an older home with high ceilings, windows on all 4 sides and an upstairs. I do use the ceiling fan in my upstairs bedroom, but I LOVE to have the windows open and fresh outside air!
I do use the A/C in the car, but would rather have the windows open when I can.
I DO NOT LIKE BEING COLD! My hands hurt when they are cold and I can't quilt! :( :?
