I work on the thirtieth floor of an office building in Boston. In the morning, the sun beats in and it's nice and toasty, if you're sitting directly in the path of the sun.
But I'm not. I have a cubicle with a view, yes, but the view is behind me. I have to turn around to look out the window, and even then I have to lean backwards a little bit, because my cube wall is immediately to the left of me when I'm sitting at my computer and the windows are on the other side of said wall.
The thing is, though, that by late morning the sun has reached the top of the building and there is no longer toasty warmness happening. In fact, it's quite chilly. And to complicate things, somebody complained back in August or July about the incredible heat over here, and as such, they turned the air conditioning on. Great for August, but now it's January and it's still on. That's right, we're in the midst of the coldest spell Boston has had since meteorology was invented and my office is still air-conditioned.
I complained. I was told that it had been changed in July due to complaints and now this was just a lot to ask. (As you can perhaps imagine, the complaint in July was because we were still getting heat.) But no changes have been made this time around and it's ridiculously cold. Who do I have to kill to get some heat around here???
I apologize for any typos that might exist in this entry. My fingers have frostbite.
