As if using a space heater saves energy…

i never had space heaters to rent, i just had my own that i bought and brought in because my office was cold enough to house penguines.
sadly, more than once i had to rent it out for the approximate cost of an hour with mishee’s mom a few times a week because of this note.

“Consciensios”: The science of conning yourself into believing you make any fucking sense whatsoever.

This is quite possibly the longest note about not touching the thermostat in the history of the world-I mean come on-what was wrong with a simple “Please don’t touch the thermostat”?!
Oh, also:
Dear Sandra,
Please be consciensios about the environment when you print out these notes. The message could have come across just as effectively without your excessive waste of colored ink-use the black and white printer from now on, and lay off the clip art!
THX,
The Ladies.

I wondered if this is how she talks too?
Certifiable crazy person!

Interesting… she suggests opening the window when the air is on, which WASTES electricity because it causes the A/C to keep running. Also, space heaters are usually banned in offices because they are fire hazards. Maybe she should research all this…?

I wasn’t aware Sandra was an FPS fan. I doubt having a rig powerful enough to run Crysis is very consciensios though.

I like that it’s lower than 60 on the thermostat. I’m not believing that anyone sets the A/C to be that low; it just sounds like the office is really cold.

One quick way to reduce the trash is to stop printing out all these notes that just get tossed after the office makes fun of THX Sandra behind her back. But we don’t have time for rational solutions, now, do we?

“… crysis and we need to take measures to reduce the amount of trash we throw away…”
I’ve got $10 that the next note left by SANDRA is one relating to the proper disposal of toilet tissue.

Apparently, Sandra’s definition of “about 70 degrees” is a toasty 59.
What department does she work in-accounting?

Accounting is hard work. We need the ceiling fan to stir up the room air while we sit at our computers entering in numbers…
or commenting on PAN.
Either way, it gets stale in here!

What did Accounting ever do to deserve a ceiling fan? They’re just cooking the books to get whatever they want.

So, in order to combat global warming, we need to reduce:
1) Trash
2) Energy Used
3) Recycle Bins in the Break Room
Does not compute.

I used to think the thermosat was my friend. We got along really well. We didn’t hang out together but our working relationship was exceptional.
Then one day I wan’t feeling to well and I went home early. I thought it was odd that my wife was home when I got there. I walked in and heard her in the bedroom moaning. “You’re so hot.”
I slowly pushed open the door and there she was, sprawled out inthe bed with my “friend” the thermostat.

I am naming my black metal band Crysis. We are going to tour Norway and burn down some churches, we will write songs like “Fossil Fuel is made of Babies” and “Bastard Ozone”. Our first album will be called “No Thermostat in Hell”.
