The downside to this economy is they never replaced my coworker when he got let go for alcohol use a few years ago. I miss having someone to talk to. He rarely got anything done but he was a good conversationalist. The upside is that I have the whole prepress area to myself. I leave the thermostat at 68 and regulate with clothing, opening and closing a window, and hot tea. Also, my bike can stay in the same room since it isn't in anyone's way.
I hate freezing in the summer because I wore light clothing and the AC is blasting, or boiling in the winter because I dressed warmly and the heat is blasting. I think my boss appreciates the lower bills since I rarely avail myself of either heat or AC.
