My daughter STILL comes downstairs in a thin top complaining of cold. I have had to deliver countless lectures on what to do in the event of the temperature drop that indicates it's fucking winter

I know this used to be the case, but I think there is now an upper limit under EC legislation, though I couldn't tell you exactly where.
She was actually but being a heterosexual female that wasn't much of a consolation

Someone's nicked the remote for the air conditioning.
Don't worry if probably only changes the user facing panel. It will have no actual effect. This is what we do in areas where users fuck the system by randomly changing the system from min to max and vice versa. Users are in general are incapable of reasonable and subtle changes till the system settles to something more reasonable.

but that's silly. Why would we put a jumper on when we can just turn the heating up?

I hummus, therefore I am ...
I'm determined not to waste gas at home this winter.
My cycle ride home sets me up for an hour or two.
I have to confess it's a bit nippy 2 1/2 hours after getting home, sitting here in dressing gown and thermal hat. The thermometer 18 inches away reads 15.2 degrees.
Time to get under the duvet methinks.

When my grand kids ask me "oh, wonderful, wise grandfather, what were 'icecaps'?but that's silly. Why would we put a jumper on when we can just turn the heating up?
", I shall tell them, "well, there were these evil witches who cared not one jot for the glorious world around them, and they preferred to destroy our lovely planet than put a jumper on...
".I shall teach them that "quimcunx" is Cornish for devil-woman...

I'm quite enjoying the slightly over enthusiastic heating at work, given that we haven't had central heating at home since October LAST BLOODY YEAR!
)))Sundays without central heating(((

Blankets are the thing to have, there are five in this room alone, I had one at work too.
I am permenently under a blanket at home (see above post about heating
) I currently have the bed duvet on me on the sofa.

A school I worked at was insane about uniform policy, and the head would often patrol the corridors to check teachers were enforcing it. One time, first day back after the Christmas holidays, she walked into a class where I'd allowed the kids to continue wearing their scarves and coats. She was incensed, but I still pointed out that it was so cold that we could see our breath in the air.
Assembly next day was about the importance of keeping to school uniform rules. Unfortunately, it was disrupted by several students slipping on the ice in the corridor on the way in.

I wasn't going to, but I need to find impressionable minds which I can educate about your uncaring, planet killing evilness. I might just borrow someone else's grand kids instead, would be a much cheaper option.You intend on procreating?

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
Even though I work in the northeast of Scotland, and there was SNOW on the ground this weekend, our MD decides he's too hot when the office is set to a reasonsable 22 C. So he resets the master unit in the office to 'air con' which blasts out cold air instead of the leaving it on the 'heat' setting and reducing the temperature.
This means the whole office freezes in icy drafts because the system is confused.
And yes, before anyone says, I WEAR A JUMPER AT WORK, SOMETIMES A CARDIGAN TOO!!

I have gotten through to my son that wearing a hat is good for keeping you warm(we don't have central heating)
If only he would remember a jumper is a good idea too
Not that he moans about the cold, he just stays wrapped in his duvet.

Maybe I like the misery
We have to work in an office with banks of fecking huge noisy Omneon servers blowing out air and it's freezing - hats and jackets are worn
