Dear Management,

I appreciate your efforts to make my transition to vacation in North Dakota next week seamless. I am guessing that is the reason why it is so cold in my office that I am currently forced to run my space-heater at full blast while wearing socks, a heavy sweater over my long-sleeved shirt and tank top, and gloves ... when it is a delightful 85 degrees outside.

What you may not know is that we do actually have heaters in North Dakota--both in our homes and cars--and there is really no need to freeze out everyone in the building on my behalf.

Always indebted to your sensitivity in watching out for my unfelt needs,

-Marcia
