Today, I moved to Florida because I have poor circulation and need to be in a warm environment. The first day at my new job, I discovered my co-worker is an overweight man who wears a wool suit every day, and insists on keeping the office chilled to 65 degrees. I can't feel my fingers or toes. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my skinny co-worker complained that sitting just underneath the AC vent was making her too cold. My boss had us switch places, because "your mass keeps you warm anyway". FML
Today, I've been freezing in my office for days at work. When I finally complained about it to a coworker, she led me into my office, said, "Let me show you something," then pointed out the thermostat I'd never noticed was even there and turned it up with a pitying look. FML
Today, despite living healthy and being only 40, I have such pathologically cold feet that I can only ever be comfortable while either having them on a hot water bottle or taking a vigorous walk. Everything else feels about as cosy as standing in ice water. FML
Today, some construction workers kept going in and out the door next to my cubicle. They decided it would be easier to just prop the door open for the next hour. It's 20 degrees outside, and I'm wearing a dress. FML
Today, I was written up at work because I took off my badge. While I was putting on a sweater for this cold weather. FML
Today, the company I work for decided to "go green" and stopped using the air conditioner to cool down the office. It is currently 81 degrees at my desk. FML
Today, it's -5°C outside and snowing and it's only September. If that wasn’t bad enough, we aren't allowed to have the heat on at work due to a menopausal monster who loses her shit and throws things if we turn it on. I can't feel my toes. FML
Today, I got to listen to my boss lecture me about professional dress and subtly insinuate that my being on the heavier side top-wise with all the men in the office could be a problem. I've worn turtle necks for the whole two months I've been working there. FML
Today, while working at Starbucks, an elderly woman came up to me asking to turn up the heat. It was at 73. After explaining to her that corporate all the way across the country controls our heat, she's reporting me to corporate and is insisting I should be fired or she won't ever return. FML
Today, thanks to a wonderful -40°F wind chill (I'm in the Midwest), I woke up this morning to a freezing cold house. I had to wear my shoes, a coat, and gloves. Indoors. For the whole morning and most of the afternoon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just keep your head cool and don't argue with him. You don't want things heating up in the office now do we?

Yeah, you really need to think about the logic there. Firstly, they're Americans, so obviously they're talking about degrees F. Secondly, if 26 deg is nice for you, don't you think that 95 deg would be seriously dangerous? They're talking about Farenheit, you're talking about Celcius.

You should probably tell someone and not just sit there doing nothing about it. If it's your health I'm pretty sure they can do something about it, not just sit there and say "that's your problem not mine".

Oh man why does he get to control the thermostat? I have a pretty severe circulation problem too (Raynaud's) & I use the HotHands-2 hand warmers (my fingers are my biggest problem) pretty much at all times (you can order them on amazon for $25 for 40 pair & each pair lasts 10 hours! you could also try using a space heater under your desk OR they make "Toasti-toes" which are like the hand warmers but for your feet! But it would also be nice if Mr. wool suit lame-o man would just have some sort of "accident" or take away his access to the thermostat. Good luck! :)

I should try the special socks! do they really work?

i have that too!!
MissVocke1122 4
I'm not sure how well the socks work-like I said, its mainly my hands that are a problem for me. There are a few kinds of socks too-some are electrically heated, some can be microwaved, and some have built in pockets to put the HotHands foot warmers into. I definitely think the HotHands are best cause they stay warm so long! You can find all if these items on amazon!

explain your problem to your supervisor and your co-worker and maybe you can compromise on a temperature.
