Decide my life: I have been trying to convince the building people that my office is too cold.

Posted by ralph wiggum (aka Wiggum17) Nov 17 '08, 16:18

After repeatedly taking temperature readings in the morning (before the A/C has been pumping Arctic wind straight down my neck all day), they have finally decided to leave this little temperature monitor on my desk to record the temp throughout the day.

Am I a bad person if I accidentally leave the icepack from my cooler next to the monitor? What about if I stick the monitor in the fridge for a couple of hours?

can the vent directional vanes be aimed another direction, or can you hang some cardboard louvers to do so -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 16:30
have a cord of wood delivered to them tomorrow :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 16:30
i'm thinking that the solution to your problem has something to do with nipples -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 16:29
Tell them you'll be forced to bring in a space heater, increasing their electric bill -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 16:22 2
- Oh, I've had the heater for a long time. It's just kind loud and I would prefer not to waste the electricity. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:24 1
  - I'm not saying start using it. I'm saying that's what you could *tell them*. They don't know you don't like to use it. :-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 16:31
That might make them make it even hotter then you would like. -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:21
The first should not raise red flags. The second would result in you getting so much extra heat that you'd have to show up in swimwear -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:20 11
- My fingers have gone numb, but I don't want to turn on my portable heater because I don't want them to think my office is actually warm. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:22 9
  - If they can't fix it, then get a screwdriver and take the grill off the vent and block it with carboard or a blanket. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:25 3
    - I've gotten in trouble for that before when the cardboard blew into the vent. Apparently it's some kind of fire hazard or whatnot. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:27 2
      - Large pieces of magnetic sheet also work. As long as the vent is metal. - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:37 1

  - isn't it almost summertime there? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:23 4
    - Hence the blowing of AC down her backside. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:24 3
      - Exactly. It's always worse in the summertime. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:25
      - I was just wondering how unusual it would be to have a hot chocolate ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:24 1
        
        *snort* -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 16:39
- I'm not seeing the downside. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:21
"Wow! It's 40� in here? What the hell?!? -- nm - Building Supervisors Nov 17, 16:19
They might over compensate in the other direction. ;) - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:19
