1. I have the exact opposite problem.
I think our AC is on the fritz. I look like a moist brownie right now.

13. Same here
and I am hot natured and CANNOT WORK when it's this stuffy. I WISH it was cold - then you can put on layers. You cannot take your clothes off at work, however. I get sick of cold-natured people complaining.

8. I freeze to death in my office all the time
and it is really a problem for me. The temperature control is in this really big guys office, and it is obvious he is hot all the time. He sets it as low as 60 degrees.

I not only have low thyroid, and am already cold all the time but I am starting to have what I believe must be arthritis in my elbows. Even with a jacket on, when my hands get cold my elbows start hurting like crazy.

10. My office is a delightful 64 degrees.
It's like a meat locker. I love it.

When I was working in CT, my office was SOOOO cold that I could walk out to my car in 100degree heat and still not feel the hot.

12. My office gets the afternoon sun, so if I don't try to lower the temperature
in the mornings, it gets really hot up here. Third floor and all that.

The rest of the house is pretty comfortable, probably about 72.

15. I'm with you, LP.
I work in an office here in SoCal, and halfway through May, they kick on the AC way too high and keep it on 'til October. I wear a sweatshirt, and a girl who works on the other side of the office actually uses a space heater.

A space heater. In the Summer. In Southern California.

16. The temperature in my office is set at 70 degrees right now
and I close the vents in the back office since those people back there won't complain about how cold they are. The weather is miserable right now, and it's nice to be comfortable while working
