My office is freezing....

[Anonymous]

Besides a space heater (which I'm not allowed to have), give me your suggestions of a blanket/wrap/something?? I can keep at the office and not freeze to death but also not look like I'm a grandma.

(why is the air conditioning blasting? It's only 60 dergrees outside!)

I'm so sorry! I hate that. I haven't cracked it myself. I don't have any suggestions that LOOK good, but wool socks and a mug I keep full with a hot drink to hold help, since I lose feeling in my fingers and toes very easily. Going on brief walks outside, or taking walking meetings if possible, helps a lot too.

I use an emergency blanket.

I have this:

BUT you're not really supposed to use it for longer than 20 min at a time only a couple of times a day.

pp again, but it DOES work so well to keep me warm.

electric blanket?

[Anonymous]

An electric throw to use while you are sitting down?

[Anonymous]

When it’s cold enough you won’t care about the grandma look! Sorry, kidding, OP. I agree with electric blanket if it’s allowed.

[Anonymous]

Wear more clothes.

[Anonymous]

I almost never wear dresses because of this. If it's really cold, you could even bring long johns to put under your pants at work, but I find that with long pants and warm socks, that helps a lot. I also keep a warm cardigan in the office. I had a colleague that kept a large shawl that she would wrap around herself.

I actually liked the brief period when people were masking in the office because at least it kept my nose warm.

Can we trade my office is 77F

[Anonymous]

Ditto to an electric throw blanket. and much less obvious than a heater.

[Anonymous]

I saw electric vests at costco during the winter. Electric handwarmers, wear winter boots and a hat

[Anonymous]

I have a little usb heating pad that I can sit on or put behind my back. It’s not visible, but keeps me warm. Sometimes I put it over my lap, but it’s meant to be sat or leaned on.

Ask the building to fix it. Have you actually tried that?
