My office is kinda cold. I think we keep the A/C up a bit too high. Short sleeved shirts (still worn with ties) often leave me a bit cold even if they're reasonably appropriate outside. I'm not quite sure how the regs are on short sleeves, but for now I just limit them to days without important meetings and figure that my bosses would tell me if they were a problem. Not asking is my pathetically minor way of maintaining my fashion autonomy.

Also, for my lunch, I will once again be studying counter-insurgency methods. That is to say I will be eating soup with a knife. Over time I slowly lose utensils and I've been good about not hitting the food court for a bit so I haven't restocked. Apparently the trick to counter-insurgency is drinking directly from the bowl near the end.

I lack patience with soup. First, I try to eat it while it's still too hot, and end up burning my tongue. After a while, I get frustrated with using the spoon and I just drink most of it anyway. I think in your situation, I'd actually try drinking as much as I could and just ignoring the knife.

In Japan, don't they use chopsticks to pick the stuff out and then drink the broth?

Well, the microwavable soups I've been taking to work actually tend to start at a pretty good tempature. They need a minute or two to cool down but then they're fine. I have more trouble with the soups I heat in a sauce pan because the amount of heating I give those is normally pretty arbitrary.

And I do tend to get bored with the kinfe fairly quickly. It depends on the soup.

Also, why the hell can't Thunderbird properly use the reply function that's in comment emails sent by LJ. This problem has been around for years. I wouldn't think it's all that hard to fix. I wonder which end the problem is on.
