Working indoors with weather is the way it is currently is tough.
All you want to do is get out into the great wide open, but instead you’re stuck inside, thinking about the fact that the weather will probably turn before you even get a chance to enjoy it.
You are thinking that, aren’t you? No? Gosh you’re very positive.
For those of you who are thinking that, and struggling with the indoor nature of your job, we’ve got a few tips.
Here is your guide to surviving working inside during this glorious weather
1. Set up an ice cream rota
You need treats to get through this. An ice pop or some ice cream will give you a taste of Summer and each person who provides the office with ice cream will feel like a beatific hero for a few minutes.

2. Change your computer wallpaper to something along these lines
To remind yourself that if you lived in Antarctica you would never be warm.

3. Convince yourself that everyone who works outside secretly hates their job
No really, they do. Imagine what it’s like for them 75% of the time? Cold, wet and miserable.
Let them have their moment in the sun.

4. Minimise your use of social media
You really don’t need to be taunting yourself with pictures like this:

6. Remind yourself that some people are envying your air conditioned surroundings

9. Remind yourself that the sunsets are the most beautiful parts of these days anyway
And make sure you get out and enjoy them!
