today i had the pleasure of working from home while the heat in our house was off for what seemed like nearly 24 hours. my room is typically fairly cold, but it was on another level (a lower level) today. although i eventually contacted the landlord to inquire about the heat, my first thought was that i ought to go out and buy a thermometer in order to quantify my struggle. it couldn't have been more than 11 or 12 degrees in my room, if that.
