It is freezing cold in my office, and yesterday I was miserably cold. I had to go outside the building just to warm up.

So today I brought a sweater. You people have made me SO self-conscious, that I shoved it in my purse, rather than putting it over my shoulders. (Actually, it wouldn't have looked right over my shoulders -- but still!! Way to boost my confidence you meanies!)

This should in no way constitute an admission that the sweater-over-the-shoulder look is at all times ridiculous; however, you may mark me down in the "ridiculous" column for purposes of evaluationg the gentleman's get-up shown in the picture.
I'm pretty convinced that someone in this building is trying to kill me, and they're going to do it through air conditioning. I have a massive bulky sweater that I keep in my office and usually end up wearing pretty much every day in the summer. My office has three (3) (!!!) vents blasting cold air all day. Usually two of them have file folders on top of them in my vain effort to regulate the temperature to simply "fucking cold" instead of "can't type, fingers falling off."

Last year, someone in the building complained about the sub-arctic temperatures to the facilities people, and we were subsequently forced to endure four days of stuffy, hot office. So no one dares to complain any more, and we end up looking like inuits for most of the summer.
