We interrupt holiday knitting for others

Dec 05, 2007 09:22

To take care of ourselves. My office is unbearably cold. Truly. My boss has an 8'x 8'ish walled in office and frequently closes his door to conduct whatever phone call he's on (heaven knows most of them aren't business) and his office gets oven-warm. Meanwhile I'm in the big main room of the office, next to a wall of windows--FREEZING! I currently ( Read more... )

Um, you know, I think it may be a bad sign that I immediately thought of Bob Crachett when you were describing your situation...

Yup. It's silliness.

How wonderfully Seasonal of your boss. While many offices have wreaths and trees or some other decoration, he has a live presentation of the Dicken's character Bob Cratchit in his windows. ;-)

Good point. We have no holiday decor of any kind (mostly because I don't do it) so I'll have to suffice.

Hun, I have a perfectly good electric oil-filled heater, one of those that looks like a radiator. Looks like this but a bit older: http://www.sylvane.com/delonghi-space-heaters.html

It's been sitting in the garage since I moved here and I was just saying over the weekend that I wanted to find someone who needed one. It's your's if you want it and we can find a way to get it to you!

Hate to see you doing the Bob Cratchett imitation!

If there's a way to make that happen I will SO take you up on it. Thank you! Just like everyone else, money's tight in Gurley-land. I honestly feel that the boss should buy me one if the office isn't habitable, but so far no go.

Matt always tells me he'll bury me with a sweater just in case, cuz he's knows I'd even be cold in hell. But this is crazy.

Did I mention the 3 BB holes in the window behind me? Yeah, I can hear the wind whistling through those, too. But the landlord's theory of if it ain't broke don't fix it applies there, too, I guess.

Um, yikes! BB holes?

Best I can think of is sending it back home with Nikki after the Yule party, would that work?

If she's willing to haul it that would be the awesomest.
