It's freezing in my office.

Fortunately, because today was a no-clients day I was able to wear jeans and a sweater to work - so I'm not as cold as I would've been in (for example) a skirt and stockings. But my socks keep riding down and my jeans keep riding up, exposing a strip of chilly flesh. And the room seems to be getting colder as the afternoon wears on.

I'm Waiting For Ben. I'm supposed to go stay with him on the boat tonight. But I've left several phone messages and an e-mail for him this afternoon and have gotten no response, and I'm damned if I'm going to leave the building until I've established that he'll actually be there to let me into the marina. As cold as it is in my office, it will be colder outside.

We're expecting snow tomorrow. (For some reason, I have terrible timing for nights spent on the boat. The weather is very often dreadful.) Depending on whether you believe weather.com or the National Weather Service, the snow will start either at dawn or at noon, and we'll be getting 3-6 inches or 4-8 inches. If it starts at dawn, I'll have a hell of a time getting home tomorrow. If it starts at noon Ben and I may have to rush breakfast, but we should otherwise be fine.

If he calls. I'm not sure how long I should wait before I give up and go home.

At least Ben will be warm. :)

warm clothing

Is there some sort of compromise possible? A pants suit? (If it's good enough for our junior senator...) Or silk long underwear under the stockings?

Oh, I don't actually have to wear business suits - slacks and a sweater are fine, as long as they're both nice enough. I usually wear either slacks or a long skirt - which, yeah, is probably long enough that I can get away with wearing my silk long underwear. Good suggestion.
