I hate storage heaters
21-12-2009I am a lover of all things warm and toastie, I am not a fan of freezing my ass off, not being able to feel my toes or trying to type with ice block hands. The office has storage heaters, normally they keep me warm enough to not have to complain but in my rushing about on Friday I forgot to reset them before I headed off on my half day. Meaning the input was low all weekend and the output was high. For those that don’t grasp the inner workings of the storage heater, this is bad. Low input = no heat being stored high output = getting rid of any heat that might be stored. Meaning the useless piece of crap is stone cold this morning.
You would think that with all this cold weather there would be some snow about – no such luck. I hear there has been some snow at home but Dublin remains unaffected, my dart is still running and therefore the office in all its ice box glory is still accessible. Don’t get me wrong I am one of the few people who actually enjoys my job, but this close to Christmas getting anything done is nigh on impossible, designers have shut shop meaning art work cannot be amended and signed off, journalists (hard to tie down at the best of times) have disappeared, clients (even those that call four or five times a day) are on annual leave and I can’t get through the gallons of work that needs to be done even if my hands were warm enough to function properly.
I might try wearing gloves although they will further hinder the typing – there is a gap in the market if i ever seen one! non typing hindering gloves. Available in all sizes and colours. It’s a winner. Dragons Den here I come!

Aren’t they fingerless gloves, like cyclists wear?

I never got fingerless gloves, I thought the point of gloves was to keep your fingers warm…
