How do they expect me to work in these conditions?

On Sundays, I typically work in the RD office and do my RD weekly report and catch up on e-mail, conduct letters, maintenance reports, and other items that didn't get taken care of during the week. I also can do all these things between watching football games, but when the Vikings are actually shown in the area (like today) a lot of yelling occurs and things don't get done.

Well, today I didn't spend very much time in my office. The thermostat read 51 degrees (see photo below) and my fingers were frozen within a couple of minutes. My desk worker was huddled under a blanket, although her conditions were slightly more favorable (60 degrees). I have a suspicion that in order to cut down on costs, my building has been set to not heat during certain times. Funny how those times seem to align with the custodial and maintenance department hours and not the lowly RD and his working hours. Scandal!

Brrrr... Frost bite on my fingers. I bet the RDs at the University of Hawaii don't have this probelm...

BURRRR! Sometimes I sit in my office with my coat on. My residents tell me I look like I am from colorado - because I always have my fleece on.
