I’m not entirely sure what factors play into the natural body temperature deviations of individuals, but I can tell you that my coworker and I certainly differ in respect to these characteristics. It wasn’t much of a problem at work, because we’re in an office with a set temperature program which no one can alter without help from the upper level administration, but it certainly matters when we’re carpooling to work every morning and afternoon. You see, I live in a city with terrible traffic, and it takes forever to get to the office every day alone. I realized that my coworker and I live near one another and suggested we start driving together to save time and money, but I did not realize that we had such extremely different preferences when it came to the car’s temperature control. I know this is a silly thing to complain about, but she honestly makes me so uncomfortable with her heavy handed AC usage that the morning commute has become traumatic for me. I spend the entire car ride freezing my butt off because she has the air conditioning turned all the way up at full power. I’ve tried to kindly hint at my level of discomfort, but she seems to be oblivious to how cold the air is in the car. I used to think it was too cold at work and they needed to raise the indoor air temperature there; now I’m wearing several jackets on the way into work every day, and I can’t wait for the relief of the office’s thermostat settings.
