Dear God. After months of Texas summer heat (though, I would add, nothing like usual), nature has rewarded my patience by giving us a fantastically cool autumn day here in Texas. The temperature outside right now — at nearly 11 a.m. — is a breezy 55. In other words, my idea of heavenly fall weather.
But unfortunately, this has also inspired those in my office to — yes, you guessed it — turn on the heater.
Now, I can deal with the smell of a newly turned-on heater, though it’s really not my idea of pleasant. What I cannot deal with, however, is the return of the hot flashes that made life in my office last winter damned near unbearable.
My office temp currently is 81 degrees. EIGHTY-ONE DEGREES, people!
This, from a woman who keeps her apartment at 72 because I firmly believe in the idea that, when indoors, if you don’t need a blanket, it’s too damned hot.
{sigh} I can feel the thermostat fight already brewing.
