For past 2 days I've had an early lunch .. around 11:30 and now I am suffering the consequenses. I get hungry at 11 now. Well .. let me rephrase. I am always hungry. I get really hungry at 11. I want to bring it back to 12:30. So here I am stretching myself out. Agonizingly.
The temperature in my office is ridiculously low. I am shivering in my boots right now. Its bad .. sitting all hunched up .. trying to avoid the touch of the cold garment you are wearing. I have this thing with cold office temperatures. I remember waay back .. in school, a friend an I used to go to IUCAA for some project or something. Their library was the goddamn coldest place. If I remember correctly [and I do], my fingernails used to turn blue due to the cold. So both of us used to go out and sit in the warm summer sun periodically .. like we are bloody lizards who need to warm up before starting the day or something. Anyhoo .. so this cold workplace thing really gets me worked up. I am beginning to suspect that these people do it on purpose .. to keep employees 'sharp' and attentive. Can be. Who knows.
[I'm going to start a small fire here near my desk now to warm my cold hands on]
Get a heater Anya...thats what I did when I used work in that frozen Darland building...(actually they gave me one coz they cudnt bear me complaining about the temp. all the time)
P.S. These heaters work excellent for warming feet..

Posted by: Prashant at March 17, 2005 11:46 PMMoi office has very low temperatures too.
Its blazing hot outside and inside we have to put on our jackets/sweaters.
talking abt low temp. I am thinking of getting a winter jacket to wear to office ...... itz really gets very cold ..... especially right after lunch ..... when there are very people in the office .... even a pullover doesnt suffice ..... and u feel the cold in the office even more when even the night temp. doesnt go below 25C
Posted by: Maverick at March 18, 2005 12:12 AMHey,
Good to know that I am not the only one who is shevering in the office. But I doubt what u said abt they doin it on purspose...to keep employees 'sharp' and attentive...because this thing infact hampers the productivity of the employees. I cannot think, work comfortably in this cold room. Anyways...I am happy now...i got my personal heater yest. :).
well .. the cold prevents me from nodding off after a nice lunch. so the increased efficiency ;-)
Posted by: anya at March 19, 2005 05:45 PMCold is how cold...ANya? Our lab is usually at 68F on a daily basis, and to add to it, the steam supply has been cut off, so during winter, it dips down!! But I like it! Its better than the Texas heat...anytime :)

Posted by: Chinmay at March 20, 2005 06:23 PMYes Anya, you cold blooded reptile! :)
I distinctly remember the blue colour on your fingernails. And then we had to sit outside in the blazing May sun! :D
Keeping these facts in mind, it's incredible that you actually managed to survive in Duluth. :)
heh heh ... i knew u'd remember that!! we had a lot of fun that time..
