The warm snap here continues, and continues to be awesome too, except for the part where it was at least 80 degrees in my office building today. One more reason to miss having an office with actual walls and a door – I used to have a somewhat noisy, somewhat ineffectual window unit I could turn on in hopes of regulating the temperature. Now we all suffer together, usually due to the arctic level of cold that pervades a massive open space with walls that are all windows.
Which is why, even though it was going to be in the sixties today, I wore a sweater, and long skirt, tights and knee high boots. It is extremely hard to concentrate on writing copy when you’re sitting at your desk sweating. All of me was hot. My fingers were sticking to the keys as I typed. My hair frizzed. I think my feet even swelled up a bit. By the end of the day I gave up and took my boots off so my poor toes could breathe and just hoped that no one would notice.
Naturally, by the time they get the temperature sorted out, the weather will have returned to normal and we’ll all be back to wearing scarves and coats at our desks. You just can’t win.
