Damn, I wish this University would turn the heating on! It's freezing here today, and they're not even saving any money by withholding my radiator, because I've had to put my electric heater on instead.

Would that you were joking...

Absolutely not. This happened the first year that I was working there - Facilities raided the offices at the weekend and took all the electric heaters away because they weren't electrically-certified, including some that were the personal property of academic staff.

I, however, had tidied my heater away under a bookcase, and they missed it. So for a while I was the only person there with a remotely warm office.

Noooooo!

*thinks of hiding place for all heaters*

*boggles*

I will be more careful with mine in future, then, especially since it is my personal property.
