Invertabrate

I'm cold blooded. My body temperature always seems several degrees lower than that of other people. My friends and I are in a constant temperature battle, especially at work. I hate air conditioning, it's possibly the biggest bane on my existence. Everyone but me likes to keep the store at 66, and a cold 66 at that. 66 outside doesn't seem that cold because there isn't a fake refrigerator chill to the air. So every night on my lunch I leave the freezing cold store front to sit in front of the space heater we have in the back. Christian caught me so close to it that I was turning bright red but I still felt cold.

One night I was closing with Dorothy and she came back to grab the vacuum. She saw me counting the money with the space heater on full blast next to me. "Are you seriously cold?!" She asked. "I'm always cold." I told her with a sad look.  "Reggie, you're such an invertebrate!" I looked up from counting and blinked a few times. "I don't have a spine?" She frowned, "What? I mean you're like a lizard."

 "That's what an invertebrate is- something without a spine. Do you mean I'm cold blooded?" She looked confused "Oh, is that what that is? Yeah, cold blooded." I started laughing at her and she glared and left the back room.

  Now every time I say I'm cold everyone says, "You're such an invertebrate."
