Picture this nightmare that we have to relive every single day in the office: Your coworker says "its cold" and gets up to turn up the thermostat. Another co-worker says "it’s too hot" and gets up to turn down the thermostat. The first coworker turns it up again. The second coworker turns it down even further, looks you right in your eyes, and grins! By the time lunch rolls around, you’re counting down the last few seconds until you can leave the building. For an hour, you no longer have to hear coworker A and coworker B bicker about what temperature is too cold or too hot. Better yet, you no longer have to try to use a desktop heater to make sure that you don’t turn into an ice block while sitting at your desk! All of this sounds like a very chilly nightmare, right?! Because it is! This is what we went through at work. Until one day, it came to us. As we rubbed our hands together to generate some kind of body heat, we thought: “Why don’t we bring our Selk’bag to the office?”
If your office enforces a strict dress code, then we can’t make any promises. Here is how we did it:
Removable Booties
Come on, we aren’t trying to get too comfortable around the office! Before heading into the office, we removed these booties and wore our sneakers with the Selk’bag.
Leg Vents
Have you ever put one foot under the blanket and the other on top? Sometimes one part of your body is just colder than the other. Around the afternoon, we like to open up our leg vents to generate airflow.
Hand Openings
While we thought about using the hand coverings as an excuse to get out of doing work for all day, it kind of felt weird just sitting at our desk. So, we unzipped those babies and started working.
No more thermostat wars! Well, your coworkers will probably still bicker, but now you don’t care because you’re forever toasty. The next time your coworker turns down the thermostat and looks at you, look right back at them, point to your Selk’bag, and smile!
