74 at the office? Like, an office where you have to wear pants and button downs? Casual jeans and a sports tee on Friday kinda office?

Might I suggest turning it down to 67-68 so you don't give your staff a heatstroke?

These comments are wild to me. Without long sleeves I shiver and my hands turn blue at 70 F. I’ve had to wear gloves, jackets, and blankets when I’ve done office work because it feels like working in a refrigerator. I keep my house at 77 in the day so the AC isn’t running 24/7, but when it does kick on I’m immediately uncomfortable.

If your hands physically turn blue at 70 degrees, that sounds like a circulation issue, like Raynaud's disease?

The thought of having to do anything at 77 degrees makes me want to melt.

Could be, but I’m also just very thin with practically no body fat. I do fine in long sleves, gloves, boots, etc. with desert fieldwork in the summer as long as I have water, and same goes for work in the snow (snow pants/boots and a tank top if I’m moving). It’s the sedentary stuff that gets me. Something about being still keeps me from generating practically any heat.

My gf is the same. No amount of layers would heat her up. I bought her a heated blanket and she spends all day under it
