office jobs & coldness

[finn's mom]

people with very slow metabolisms are often too warm while people with very fast ones are often cold because their body is burning energy like mad. (lucky ducks!)

See, for me, I have low blood pressure, and, my doctor always told me that's why my hands and feet are always cold. Like I said, I always layered. We couldn't keep space heaters, although one girl did. (She wasn't a pee-on, though, like little ol' me. ) I always had gloves on, that was fun to type. I think I used fingerless ones a few times. It was so silly. We had a dress code, but, not like you could see what I was wearing because I would so often have so much covering me.

i´ve always had that problem, my left hand keeps warm because i sit on it :P but my right hand is soooo cold i´ve had people asked me if i am still alive :P, even if the heater is on or next to me, but it happened most in this place i worked before where the ceiling was made of steel sheets, even they had insulation stuff on them, it pretty cold, and right now i work in a place with glass walls so cold weather gets you very nicely............

i think maybe it the building materials in combinatin with not moving a lot, and maybe that just you, i sometimes bothered my sister with my cold feet and i didn´t felt them cold they just were that way.

you can wear gloves (i started using one, just one hahaha) and theres a thing you put on pizzas (crushed pepper) which i´ve heard that if you stuff them in your socks with heat up your feet (i´ve never tried but that´s what i´ve heard, a lot)

Working in a kitchen busting my butt 99.9% of the time, I wish I had the same problem. It's almost ALWAYS hot, in fact sometimes we get so hot we need to walk into the walk-in freezer for a few seconds.

For the cold hands, definitely try the fingerless gloves . . . and if you can't find a thin pair, you can make them. Just snip off the fingers of a regular pair. I type for a living so my hands stay cold, no matter what the temp is. I'm always freezing. The gloves REALLY help!

I worked at Arby's and remember doing that all the time! It was so hot back there making food!

You are so right! When my hands would get cold, those gloves really came in handy. Ha ha, no pun intended.
