Did you ever work inan office where one person is always cold...
and the AC has to be turned down. To 80 degrees?
I work in an office with 6 others. We have AC and with this hot and humid weather it heats up quickly indoors. This one co-worker is always cold, even though she has a sweater, she complains that she shouldnt have to wear it and its unfair that we like the thermostat set at 69. So because she has been there longer than anyone else we must work in 80-85 degree temps. She gets her way and everyone else swelters.
Anyone else work with someone like this?

1. Yes, but she bitches and nothing happens.

because there are a lot of us that can't get overheated or we get sick. They bring blankets. She should wear the sweater. You can always put on enough clothes, I can't take enough off. And I know that she's probably your friend, but she's a selfish idiot.

3. WTF?!
There's something seriously wrong with her! I'd bring her a nice blanket and tell her to deal. That's seriously screwed up.

5. We all give her shit
And that heat just oooooozes out from under her desk and into our air. I can feel a wall of heat when I walk to my desk.

6. She would do with a visit to the doctor
I worked with a woman like that. She had Raynaud's Syndrome. Niacin supplements helped her a lot as per doctor's suggestion.

Since I was dealing with hot flushes, I would let her warm her hands on the back of my neck as I was cooking. It was a pretty good practical way to deal :D

4. She might do well to talk to her doctor about niacin or something
that will increase circulation to extremities.
