It's a bad thing...

[Neko Bazu]

When it's warmer in the toilets than in the office, isn't it?

I'm off to do Sudoku for half an hour; maybe I'll actually be able to feel my hands afterwards

[Mrs H]

Is this a new version of Stan "Dropping the kids off at the pool" thread?

[ade]

It is like the warmist place in my house is on the bog atm...

and looks like it Mrs h

[Teesside White]

just recently its been warmer outside than inside at my house in 'boro,

ive been walking aroung with a duvet wrapped round me sometimes

[Giar]

do they not have central heating in boro then?

[Neko Bazu]

I wasn't even dropping the kids off, just hiding!

Too bloody cold in here for Neko's liking

[Giar]

try sitting here instead neko. my shop is practically outside only a set of double doors that dont close between me and the elements and worst of all, all but 1 heater has broken

[Neko Bazu]

I don't think they've even got the heating turned on here today I swear it's below the legal requirement... (Incidentally GIAR, find a thermometer - if it's below 16°C in there, you can go home without any consequences; health and safety laws )

[Giar]

yeah mate i know but i save that for the times i really cant be fooked. its never over that temp mate so if i always bugger off ide get paid practically nothing at all

[Neko Bazu]

They can't deduct wages from you; it's their fault you "can't work there" - if anything, you could sue them if they did!

Might be worth bringing it up casually with your boss one day - "Hey, someone was saying to me the other day that the workplace has to be a minimum temperature for you to work; d'ya know what it is?"

And if they say 13, that's only in areas where there's lots of manual labour or a hot environment anyway (e.g. working with machines in a plastic moulding factory)

Take a wireless laptop in the toilets then Or just take the whole paperwork in there... Might work!

they do but my housemate is having money troubles cos he's shot himself in the foot when it comes to finances so he cannot afford to have too much heating which puts me and my other housemate shit out of luck

Company hasn't supplied me with a laptop, and at any rate we're not wireless yet!

Only half an hour to go anyway, and then I can get outside into the warmth

Fair enough

Isn't the computer warm? Can't you give it a hug?

[Neko Bazu]

Might get some funny looks for doing that... but then, between the hair, the nekojin desktop pics and my cartoony cat-face stuck to the side of my tower (see my avatar), that's not really anything new!

Ah; yes, commission is different. More power to my elbow with my monthly salary then, I guess
