Glove Typing

In an attempt to keep warm in my office, I am going to throw some gloves on and start typing away at a blog.  I am kind of anxious to see what comes of this.  The general topic will be the cold weather - it's literally 30 degrees in here.  A special thanks to the school for providing ideal working conditions here in the gym. 

I hope you can decipher a few lines at least.

This cold weather seems to be affecting none other than mysel;f, particularly because most everyone elosre has heat inm their offixce.  My  heat is coming from a 3"x6" vent inm the far cornmer of the room.  Not to m,ention there are fuir doors exactl;y 10' from  my offixce that are constantly being iopened by passerbyus.  ?I just shut my door in hopes that the copld air can't barge througfh and make me c older - qwhick miht be impossible seeing how I can see my bgreath.  I just puit onm m,y wool hat  but t he jacklet remains on the backl of the seat.  The jacklet will be going on soonm e nopigjh./  Thwere's amotjher basketball gamer today, a wom,enm's game, at 7pm./  At least this is the last game  until February 4rth, so  there's a few weekls at least top fopcus onm bnaseball.  Wre start Thyursday mornmiong at 6 am.  ooking forward to  baseball, weven though we are cooped up inside for a fweq weeks until the weatert gets better out therte.  OK, I've had enougjh - oph i zsee i switvched to italiczs som,ehow.  I am literally alm,ost frozen solid - this enviroment does not promopte work, not today anywaty, and nopt for this guy.  


'm d onme, I can't take this shit anmy longer.  Time to go food shopping - I';m serious, the frozen food szsrection may  be warmwer than this office.  It's inhumane.

I hear you about stupid $#@(*)$*#@(! freezing offices. The woman who controls the thermastat must have a core temperature of about -15 because it is always freezing in here. I tried the gloves, scarf, jacket, blanket, fuzzy socks approach and finally just smuggled a space heater under my desk. I'm much happier now. Technically space heaters are not allowed, but I'd like to see them try and pry it out of my now-toasty little fingers.

PS. From one former glove-typer to another, nicely done with the typing. I only had to figure out what you were trying to say two or three times... :)

I see I'm not the only one that has had that problem this year. It was 3 times for me here, but I couldn't leave.

I've done more than my fair share of glove typing. Thankfully, for me, I think we're done with the frigid office thing. The gas company came out and plugged us into a different main, so they figure that will fix our lines freezing problem.

I had to work in a warehouse once for one of the clients I was auditing. It was cold but not THAT cold. Can you bring in your own space heater? That's what I do when I am in the office and the guy in the office next to me likes it colder! Ugh. Stay warm friend...or come out to AZ for a visit...high 60's low 70's this week :)

@MJ - yeah, everyone complains about it here but no one has the answer. seeing how i am the facilities guy, you'd think it'd fall on me, but there are higher ups who are responsible. and thanks for the compliment about my glove typing skills - rarely do i have misspelled words

@Carla - cold weather sucks

@Shelby - i feel like i am in igloo on the polar north ice cap (if there is such a thing)

Thanks for the evening chuckle. Fortunately I've never had to type with gloves, although I have reverted back to the old "hunt and peck" method of typing when my hands are cold.
