This is not half as serious as this sub usually gets. Please enjoy this rant about my constant mild discomfort.

I work outdoors in an arctic tundra. No, wait, let me check my notes. Ok - I work indoors in a completely normal American office building that masquerades as an arctic tundra.

I prepare for my work day with regionally and seasonally inappropriate layers. Every day is sweater weather followed by sweaty commute. I've made the mistake of wearing a cute dress without fleece tights exactly once. That was a dark day. I prayed for a tonton to shelter me in its gloriously warm innards, but alas, no sci-fi creature presented itself for disembowelment.

I've given up all pretenses of looking professional. I huddle under a blanket with my tiny space heater. I make cups of coffee that are only for warming my hands.

I'm convinced the thermostats are decorative. No amount of fiddling woth any of them has ever raised the thermometer in my office over 68 degrees.

I hope, one day, to acclimate to life as a Swanson's Frozen Professional.
