Late night contemplating

[onefixedstar]

I've discovered one major point of divergence between my new roommate and myself: preferred temperatures. We seem to be divided along stereotypical male/female lines: he likes the air conditioner running in 10 degree Celsius weather, while I survived the summer quite comfortably without an air conditioner. So far I've been letting him set the temperature since I can pile on extra clothing and blankets and he can only take so much off, but I'm finding nights a little uncomfortable because there's a ceiling vent right over my head and so I usually end up with a choice between suffocating under my blankets or waking up to cold air pouring down on me. And no, that's not why I'm still up at this ungodly hour. That can be attributed to too many time-sensitive projects and not enough hours in the day.

I think tomorrow I may have to work on covering that vent.

Yikes! Careful, you can get sick from unnecessary cold much more easily than he can get from unnecessary heat. Can you split the temperature difference?

I think the problem may resolve itself once they switch the building over from air to heat. According to the signs, they should be doing that soon. I don't know what he'll do then, but I'll be comfortable.
