Because 72 degrees just makes too much damn sense.

I ask you -- they tell us to set the thermostat to 72 in the summer when we want to be cool, and 68 in the winter when we want to be warm.  WTF?!

Supposedly, the air is set at 72. I have a thermometer in my office, it is currently 68. And there are periods of air conditioning in the winter FFS.

Bass ackwards.

68 is nice to stand briefly in during the hot months, but unless you are mulling about, it's too cold when you are sitting still at a desk most of that time.

 

When the A/C is set to 73, I'm wearing a hoodie and a sweater because I'm so damn cold.

Yep. I bought a snuggie from 5 below. Forget ever wearing a skirt to work with bare legs.

I do that every day.    Though I do have a space heater, which helps.  Then it gets too hot, so I turn it off.  Then it gets too cold, so I turn it on.  It's like menopause!

Luckily the thermostat for my office is next to my desk, it's set at 73* (perfect) and I change it back any time anyone has messed with it. 

My guess is buildings more than compensate for the heat outside. 88/67 here and I am wearing a fleece jacket and could use some gloves.

We never turn the AC off but even the heat permeates through inside the house.  Especially in the fiery afternoon sun.  I was sweating on the TM yesterday!

Unfortunately, my office is currently at 80F because everybody has fucking personal heaters.  I cannot even wear my suit inside the office.

Oh, and if you ever live here, know that your AC will break in the middle of August.  I guarantee it.
