Damn, that's cold

[carynb]

I'm not liking this much at all.

It's bad enough that's it's cold outside - we took the puppies for a walk last night, and in 20 minutes, even wearing long underwear, my legs were numb when we got home - but it's cold inside, too.

Our heaters here in the office are pumping out heat at a remarkable rate, and it's making no difference. It's COLD in here. I've got sweaters on, so the core of me isn't bad, but... the faster I type, the colder my fingers get. I can't type in gloves, I just can't. My typing's bad enough as it is. I'm even being somewhat productive - the solution to a problem that's been on the back burner for a couple of days hit me this morning, and trying to code it is making my fingers go numb and white.

Damn my genetically-inclined over-reaction to cold! When my fingers start turning blue, I'll give up and try typing with gloves on. *g*

I have found that thin cotton gloves, normally used for touching historical documents, allow me to type in a cold room. Latex gloves would be even better, but not breathable.

(It's been a problem here for weeks. My apartment's main heating unit is in the shop, waiting for parts. The baseboard heaters are only adequate for some rooms, only if I keep the door closed.)
