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 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.

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.

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.
