There are disadvantages to sitting in a different area--on a different floor, in fact--from the rest of the group I'm working with. They've gone off to a meeting, apparently about who will be working on which specific tasks. Meanwhile, I've hit a snag in my current task, because there's missing backup material [I'm editing "ancillary" workbooks, and the exercises need to connect to the textbooks], and have nobody to consult for help.
On the positive side, I've managed not to be overheated. It involves a variation on dressing in layers, specifically a shirt and pants too cool for the weather, but suited for the overheated office. On the way to work, I supplemented them with long underwear and a sweater.
The tea in the lunchroom on this floor uses hot water that comes from a coffee machine. The cafeteria tea doesn't, but they charge for that. It may be microwave time.
