Just tell your boss that, and I'm sure he'll find a way to make sure you have to move three hours east so you can sit in the office and have video calls from there.

In Germany, it's been warm for the season, so after an early-season cold snap, it got warmer again and, while I'm getting tempted to turn on heat again, I haven't had it on since early December, I think.

It feels so odd.

That said, the _building_ is still heated, and I'm in a middle floor of a building that touches the buildings next to it.

So between that and whatever heat I and my computers produce, it stays 20C (68F) or above, if it's around (or above) freezing.

And you _know_ the place uses new equipment, just purchased late last year.
