My puffer jacket isn't uniform but I'll be damned if I'm taking it off this morning. I've even recruited my under-desk heater because I couldn't feel my feet. This is more like the Melbourne winter I remember.
I am fortunate enough to have a uniform puffer jacket - also a beanie and scarf! With a 6am start tomorrow I'll be utilising them all to get to the office without freezing. Warm uniform items are a bonus largely pushed by staff in the Ballarat office who need them even more than we do here.
Thank god I have a padded safety vest for that extra layer of warmth, I'd be an icicle without it in the mornings.
Now to take the next hour defrosting myself.
I wear a T-shirt and jeans and work in the fridge and freezer sections, I do wear gloves though. I wear extra layers when I’m at home.
