How many layers....

VS.

This is what it's like where I work right now. The Heat Miser vs The Snow Miser wage the battle over the a/c!!!

I readily admit that I like it warmer than most - I don't even think it's warm out until it's in the mid 80's F. You won't see me wearing shorts until it's at least 85F. I realize most folks in my area do not agree - so I make concessions to those around me. I wear sweaters to work year round - wool in the winter, cotton in the summer. I know if I'm visiting a friend's house I will need a hoodie with me - just in case. I'm O.K. with this. I am the Heat Miser! - (plus my hair resembles his if I just let it air dry!)

I work with 2 Snow Misers. They have the a/c running even when it's only 65F outside. They cool the indoor air down to 67F - which in the summer means that the a/c is running ALL THE TIME! Cool, damp, a/c air blasting 40+ hours a week. They wear short sleeves and pull at their collars complaining about how "stuffy" and "warm" it is in the office.

In between the 2 zones are the rest of the staff - 10 innocents who laugh at me for carrying a hoodie where ever I go year round. Yet even they are begging the Snow Misers for some relief. There is none to be seen.

So I am about to go get dressed and ready for work. Here is the list of items I will be wearing today:

thong, boy shorts, dress pants, 2 pairs of dress socks, belt, bra, tank top, l/s sleeve cotton blend sweater and my lab coat.

By lunch I will be chilly. By the end of my 8 hour shift my nose will be cold to the touch, and toes getting cold, and my hands will feel cool to others.

So much to look forward to......
