86F for my fellow Americans.
Thanks for not just assuming I keep my house below freezing!
Point taken. But I don’t go anywhere for work lol
Oh no, my good sir, not while you go into work.
While you’re at work. If you’re WFH, you could be staring at the door, that person is coming through the dog door anyway.
