Eskimo

The way the heat works in my building is that there is some sort of central heat in the classrooms. The office area has space heaters. The hallway, stairwell and bathrooms have no heat at all. Usually, I'm in the class or the office so I stay pretty warm. However, something is wrong with the central heat in the classrooms. Today, I froze. I was wearing a down vest with a fur-trimmed hood. By the end of the day, I had the hood on and buttoned up tightly around my chin. A coworker walked in the classroom laughed and said I looked like an eskimo. It didn't bother me. You do what you have to do. I was hoping looking like an eskimo might also convince the powers that be that it really was time to repair the heater. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 24 degrees.
