Hey, Brad*. Listen. I know that sometimes when you're sitting at your desk, contemplating your mortality and the inevitable heat death of the universe over the same ham sandwich you've packed for lunch every day this week, you get a little restless. Your life seems out of your control. You just need to feel something again. So instead of going sky diving that one time and Instagramming the crap out of it for the next six years, you get up and try to fill that deep void in your heart by jacking the office thermostat down to 65 degrees and watching your coworkers die terrible, short-sleeved, melodramatic deaths.
I'm not throwing shade here, Brad. For one thing, it's way too cold for me to be risking any additional shade — but more importantly, I understand. You want to feel powerful. That's what it is, right? You woke up one day and realized you weren't Batman, but you do have one super power that Batman doesn't. Specifically the super power of making us all HATE YOU FOR TAILSPINNING OUR OFFICE INTO ANOTHER ICE AGE.
Ahem. Sorry, Brad. You could say I lost my cool for a moment there. (HAH.) In any case, we all love you a lot (especially that rad beach house you let us have the company picnic at every year, but also you, and your personality!), so I'll try not to rag on you too much. In fact, rather than play your thermostat games all summer, I've decided to invest in a slew of trendy office blankets to help us survive your tyranny. Here are a few of my ~faves~.
(*Replace with the name of whoever plays Elsa in your office, because we ALL HAVE ONE.)
