I could do without the additional workload of responding to it. Finding out that the grumpy old sod is still seeing patients when I thought he had retired has ground my gears a bit too.

Duchess Jul 2016 12:55pm, 27 Jul 2016 7,027 posts	Quote Pin Duchess Jono, I've got a colleague who sits in an office that everyone else thinks is comfortable (a desktop thermometer reckons 24C) and constantly complains that it's freezing. She is known to nip into meeting rooms in advance to check that it's to her liking. If its not you're liable to walk in and find the heating set to 30C...)
Wednesday Mouse Jul 2016 1:04pm, 27 Jul 2016 328 posts	Quote Pin Wednesday Mouse Argh, office AC. I hate it - ours is set to "arctic" constantly, which means even on really hot days you have to take a jumper/cardigan to work because it's too cold without one on.
Diogenes Jul 2016 1:08pm, 27 Jul 2016 16,176 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes noise (I used to work in an office where one side of the office was occupied by cold people and the other (my side) by normal people. This meant that in winter they would have their radiators on full while we had our windows open. The outcome of this was that our cold air would circulate towards them while we got their stuffy air. Air similar thing would happen in the summer when we had our windows open and they were putting their jumpers on.)
