    Here's one of those really lame questions that has no purpose in life (like most of the things I'm curious about). I'm sitting here in my office in jeans, a T-Shirt and I'm totally boned-out from another session of strength training. My feet have no socks (hate socks recently) and they are almost cold enough that they would hurt but not quite. My hands are cold but my fingers are not stiff. I keep it at 68 degrees (yup, have my own thermostat from the rest of the house) and I like that. Helps me to stay alert. I'm positive most women on this earth would cut my heart out for as cold as I keep it if I had them work with me. Women seem to prefer about 78 to my 68 and at 78 I'm just about asleep at the keys. So what temperature do you prefer? As a side note I prefer outside air but right now doing so would bring it up to about 90 degrees in my office and that's my definition of hell. - Rex

      No hell starts at about 102-104. I keep my place nominally 79 in the summer and 66 in the winter. Now the office is about 6 degrees hotter in the summer, it is the buffer between the uncooled garage and the rest of the house, if I am not circulating air (at 83 now). [My SOAPBOX] I would be more comfortable if it was about 76. How I feel I am wasting resources and being irresponsible to my fellow man in doing so, even though I could pay for it. [/My SOAPBOX] I do enjoy keeping the PC on during the winter for a few extra degrees :).

        68 is about perfect for me, and my wife has the same delusional sense of warmth that yours does. Though when she was pregnant she converted back to a human state and became warm blooded for a short while. I fear she will sink back to her usual state over the comming months.

            Have you seen that Family Guy episode where the thing goes off in guys' heads when someone adjusts the thermostat? That's me. I have the Guy Gene when it comes to temperature. My husband turns on the heat when the room temp dips below 76. I'm like, put some freaking socks on. I prefer it too cold than too hot because you can always put on a sweatshirt or jacket.

              Gee I knew I was an odd ball but, I could care less what the temp is hot or cold; as long as the humidity isn’t too bad. Gets to cold I put a jacket on, if I get to hot then I take the jacket off. Where I work the temps drop to lower 60s upper 50s sitting here idly not only do I get the chills but the desk gets cold.


              I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

                Well, we knew you were odd to so your confession wasn't necessary. :-D Where do you work with temps like that?:confused:

                  about 20C for me (oddly enough that's 68F) but if I'm sitting still for too long I do get a bit cold so up to 22C). Elaine :rose:

                    depends how warmly I'm dressed, and what i'm doing. I'd like to turn the office thermostat down to ~60 (@#*($# long pants), at home I wear shorts year round and generally don't turn the heater on until it starts slipping below ~65 unless I'm expecting company. I have my AC set to the low 70's because any lower and it starts sucking power like mad. 55 and shorts is great for yardwork, and if it's stopped falling I'll wear the same for digging mt car out of the snow to about 25F.

                      I prefer things on the chilly side. My optimum coding temperature is about 55f. My optimum working and moving around temperature is about 40f. In defference to my wife we agreed that I cannot keep the house any lower than 65. When I was single I kept it below freezing at night (seriously and water/liquid left out would freeze). I absolutely cannot stand anything above 75.
