A lap electric blanket should keep you warmer than a space heater and be much cheaper.

Get your thyroid checked :)

I'm not a medical professional but perhaps a look into iron levels, thyroid, other possible definciencies bears looking into.
Also a heated blanket while working might be more energy efficient than a space heater.

Got my wife a heated snuggy. It has arm sleeves and footies and you plug it in and turn it on.

Long johns. More layers. Silk and wool. Drink warm liquids (hot tea, hot chocolate, warm chicken broth)
Is your chair a mesh fabric? Drape a blanket over the chair and sit on that, so no air is coming through to your back or seat. Since you can’t wear a hat (are you sure you can’t wear a beanie?), try covering your head in at least a handkerchief, like a biker or Hulk Hogan. Thin gloves w the finger cut out will help keep your hands warmer and you’ll still be able to work on a computer.
Do as many of these as you can and see if it helps; I’ve been cold for much of my life, and these things have helped me.

I hate summer. My bedroom always gets so hot and the air conditioning doesn't reach that far down the hallway

What if I suffer from "seasonal depression" in summer?

Reply to comment by CoffeemonsterNL in LPT: When trimming your facial hair with an electric razor, line your sink with a paper towel. by Hello_IM_FBI
Way less crucial if you use a daily razor and just shave stubble, but if you have a beard and use clippers then absolutely get an apron. Saves your drain and your general sink from all the hair shed.

Large Water bottle or one of those heated pads that you can add warm liquids to. I do this camping when I'm sleeping in cold environments. Fill the container with as hot of water as you can stand on bare skin without pain. One between the legs and one near my chest does the trick for a couple of hours. Refill when needed.

Do some squats every hour and or jumping jacks. Keep your heart rate up/increase your physical activity. Consider a standing desk or an under the desk exercise "bike".

I think the biggest one is probably the hat. I know you said that there's a shape of the headset causing some issues but I think you need to figure a way around that you lose a lot of heat through your head

It’s not inherently rude.

I use a garbage bag and spread it in/over the sink flat (as in, one side is up and the other is down.)
Then i can pick it up by the corners and a shake or two above the garbage gets most of the hair. Fold it up so i open it the right way up next time and its golden.
Ill upgrade eventually by getting one of those plastic-barber-like-bibs and throwing some suction cups on one end. They stick to the mirror over the sink and the other side would tie around my neck making for less hair spread, and easier cleaning and use than a garbage bag.

Reply to LPT: If you're asked when you want to meet, especially in a professional setting, just answer the question. Saying "whenever!" isn't being flexible; it's being evasive. by [deleted]
A boomer wrote this, had to, or someone who thinks they're the main character. Saying " whenever" opens the options for the person scheduling and 9 times out of 10, they're going to reply when it works for them. It isn't evasive or an affront to your questioning. Nay, tis but a normal reply when you've got nothing scheduled for a fortnight.

Looks like the people in the comments here never met someone who never does their own due diligence and expects everyone else to find answers to things for them 🤣

There's a difference between someone asking 'hey, what do you think is the tallest building in the world?' and 'what's the tallest building in the world?'
One would be me giving my best guess and one is a query literally directed at Google. I'm not siri, talk to me like a person.
I have a coworker who is like this sometimes and I just say 'I don't care' when they ask me questions for a search engine.

I go outside in my yard with a hand mirror. Nothing to clean up.

Reply to LPT Request: I'm cold. All the time. How do I warm up, and keep warm? by [deleted]
If you're cold all the time in front of a space heater, consider the possibility of medical problems. My first impulse is anemia but I'm not a doctor and even a real doctor would want a blood test.
