Sounds like we should open up shop together! I'm cold year 'round in my office. I'm sure my co-workers get sick of seeing me wear the same things all year long: longsleeve turtleneck sweaters and long pants (they can't see them, but I wear another shirt underneath the sweater, and tights under the pants as well). I've covered up my vent, so at least the air doesn't blow on me anymore (which, makes me feel colder despite the temp). I tried a space heater once and blew a circuit, which cost quite a bit of $$$ to repair. Space heaters are now banned . . .

Of course, my boss is always hot in his office as he gets full afternoon sun through his large windows. I've offered to trade, but for some reason he doesn't like the idea of downsizing to my close-sized space. I wonder why?

I'm a cheapskate like BikeDutchess and quite a cheapskate at home: 63 is the highest it goes in the winter, unless my mother is visiting and then it gets cranked up to 68 to quiet her complaining. Of course, I'm completely bundled up and drinking hot tea like crazy. My DH wears his beanie/skull cap and a quilted flannel at home too. Yup, we look like a couple nuts, but our old house is NOT energy efficient, so we'd be paying hundreds per month otherwise.
