One thing I have been experiencing at work lately is that my office is mostly comfortable, but not 100%. The things that bug me are crappy lighting (something I can change), and a finicky temperature.

Currently, the only lighting in my office is one crappy overhead fluorescent. I need to change this, and get a good full spectrum desktop lamp that I can move around to suit my needs. This is sheer lack of time that is prohibiting me from fixing this.

The temperature problem is tricky though. So far today I am comfortably warm and cozy. I am wearing a t-shirt, a thermal top, a hoodie, and a down vest. Yesterday my hands were cold all day, and this was a big distraction. The problem here is that I don't control the temp in my office alone. The control is outside my office, and affects 3 or 4 larger offices. Making myself warm makes others hot. Not sure if there is a compromise somewhere, but having difficulty typing because my hands are too cold is no good.

I find that I can get distracted by my environment. Cold hand and poor lighting make me think about ways to fix it, cause me to fixate on those problems instead of my work, and generally make me not want to go to my office. I think I need to fix this.
