I seem to have my own climate around me most of the time lately… and really for the last several years. Most of the people I live or work with are always cold (temps have been ranging between the 30’s-60’s with a few brief forays into the 70’s). And then there’s me wearing as few clothes as possible and sleeping with the fan on.

In the office we have 3 thermostats, one that covers the AA office and bathroom, one that covers one of the team offices and the kitchen, and then one that covers my office, the other team office and the conference room. On the days that I’m not in the office, the people from the team office like to change the thermostat settings, so I come into work and my office is stifling. I finally told them this week- “You can put on jackets if you’re cold, I can only strip down so far and still be professional!”

Now, I certainly don’t want my team to freeze anymore that I want to sizzle from the heat in the office, so I did just pick up a fan for my desk so that we can adjust the thermostat to hopefully meet everyone’s needs. But hot flashes are no joke my friends, let me tell you!
