Fighting the Cold

Ok now I can work in my office. Upon the arrival of this recent cold front, we discovered the heat to our section of the building...Isn't so much working. To combat the problem, we invested in space heaters to survive until they fixed it. (The maintenance guy wants to wait till my coworker who has the equipment in her ceiling takes a few days off, we promised to "take care" of her and he could come anytime he liked).

The heating system is apparently annoyed at us and now has proceeded to blow out cold air from the vents. We've taped most of them shut but need to leave a bit open for circulation. Needless to say it is really cold in here.

My finger nails are a lovely shade of blue. Combine those with my red hands and otherwise ghostly pale skin...I'm a true American girl.

All suggestions for keeping warm are graciously accepted.

I'm thankful we've only blown the circuit breaker about 5 times, so they aren't banning our space heaters yet. Also...I'm thankful for space heaters otherwise I'd be getting a cold from my office...Which incidentally happened last July due to the chilly office. Oh well...I'd rather work in the cold then in a sweaty locker room.
