The Wind Devil
An icy little wind devil
kicks up the air in my cube
leans against my left shoulder to read what I write
blows on my soup
peeks under my blanket
keeps making grabs for my toes.
The office AC has summoned him.
Only he who has been granted
the power of the thermostat
can send him back to the ninth circle
from whence he came.
Fresh Hell 
The icy devil visits us throughout the year, nibbling at our fingers and toes. He seems to like your cube the most though! I feel for you.

I have never tracked down the person in charge of temperature at my work. Very consistent though – always roasting in the summer and baltic in the winter! Loved this little snippet!

Ah, the joys of office life… where even your temperature is controlled. 😉

Sarah,
Sounds a little nippy in the domain of fresh hell. When you freeze over, let me know! In the meantime, I have a lap blanket, slightly chewed by Buddy, the sulfurious farting dog, that I’m willing to lend you! Stay warm, my friend! And it never hurts to bribe the thermostat control operator.

Haha, yeah, the hell is a bit TOO crisp and fresh today! A farting dog could really warm things up but they don’t allow those in the office for some mysterious reason…
Believe you me, I’ve got my lap blanket, my warm tea, and my jacket zipped up to here!
❤
Make sure and have a lovely warm and cozy time in your sparkle world for me 🙂
You know what I like to do sometimes. I keep edible sparkles for cakes in my desk. and sometimes I put them in my tea just so I can watch them and eat them. It's probably not great for me but I don't care… they're food grade 😛

I reason it’s so frustrating is someone is in charge of the temperature.
