Oh the weather inside is frightful...

Yes, you read that right. The weather INSIDE is frightful. And has been all summer. I have never understood why companies feel that, during the blazingly hot summer months, they must turn the A/C down so low that you could perform cryogenic research right at your desk. My diet cherry coke has not even begun to sweat because there is no difference in temperature from the refrigerator and the outside world.

Hello, my name is Beth, and I work for Penguins.

Apparantly I am always going to be that slightly geeky girl in the office who runs around at all times of the year with a raggedy sweater on. Now, the raggedy part is my own fault - but really, I brought the sweater in simply for the odd occasions when it was a little chilly, not expecting that it would become a daily item of apparel. It's not like I'm trying to walk around in tank tops with little spaghetti straps either. I have on short sleeves - because it's 90 freaking degrees outside (with the heat index pushing it upwards of 100) - yes, but that's not unreasonable given that it's JULY.

I do realize that I'm the minority, however. Everyone else I've asked (including the woman walking around in a tank top -- though I think she's of the certain age where she has her own personal summers, so does she count?) is comfortable to slightly warm. So I will continue my Mr. Rogers-esque habit of coming into the office and putting on a sweater and count the joys of a chilly office...like the fact that I don't need to go to Cold Stone Creamery-- I can mix my own ice cream right here on my desk.
