Anybody else in work freezing cold??

[BigRichi]

Came into the office this morning and the bloody heating broke down last night so the place is bitterly cold.
whats the management doing?? they say it will heat up with body heat when everybody is in lol

I know its a rubbish rant but I'm just feeling sorry for myself and had to tell somebody

thanks

If it's colder than 16oC, then off you go

[Pothole]

nope, thinking about opening a window!

Ask them to get some electric heaters in.

Wouldn't want to freeze your pecker.

bloody hell... people complain in summer being too hot and they complain in winter for being too cold, you would think that PH is nothing but whingers!!

You can consult the H&SE poster for your entitled working conditions... wait they do have one posted don't they?

People do heat rooms, but if I remember correctly, people only produce about 40W (long time since I checked)

I have a radiator on one side of the office and a server the size of a smart car on the other side. The digital thermometer I have reads -4.9c outside and a toasty 19.4c inside.

Plus the coffee perculator on my desk gives off a nice bit of heat too...

I am at home freezing, there are about 6 rooms we never use in our house during the winter, I have doubled that number and am now using the kitchen with the Aga and the smallest sitting room with a log burner.

[JacksHereR]

i started feeling a bit chilly - so i switched on the fan heater under my desk
now im ready to pass out.

[Penny-lope]

Started 7.30am on Wednesday....walked into the school hall, to find 4 windows wide open!

Or even better, crack one off - that'll keep you warm for 15 seconds

I was. I'm sat next to a wall of massive glass windows about 8'x4'.

The thermometer said that it was 8 degrees next to the window and you can feel the cold from it. The bds across the room have stolen all the heaters and refused to share, so i've stolen the central heating thermometer, and left it next to the window

Its a toasty 22.5 over here now, they appear to be sweating across the room and all their heaters are off.
