No shit, i find it irresponsible and selfish to complain about the cold, put on more clothes! cold can be remedied by clothes heat can be remedied by nakedness and fans, fans are usually not available and nakedness is illegal
I'm usually cold. This might be because I'm shaped like a stick insect, because women tend to wear fewer layers of clothing in the office than men do (that extra suit jacket can make quite a difference -- but I'm not sure what the dress code is like where you work), or because we are, in fact, secretly reptiles.

That's a good point. Here, though, we have uniforms, so everyone's wearing the same amount of clothing. But at other places, that could have something to do with it.

That's really not true. No matter how much clothing I put on I can't do anything to make my hands warm enough to type. Unless someone decides to make a keyboard with keys the size of salad plates.
I mean, when I worked at a grocery store, I would go in the walk-in cooler to read during my breaks, because it felt nice in there. So maybe I'm the freak.
I am absolutely sure that I am cold-blooded. I get cold and hot extremely quickly and can go from shaking because I am so cold, to dripping with sweat in no time at all.
