So I sure missed the call when it came to the pandemic.
Initially, I was 1 of those people who thought it was all being blown out of proportion.
In our mind, I thought the heat and humidity of Summer would kill that virus. Of course, I could not have been any more incorrect. But I clung to the notion could I wouldn’t be missing the zone controlled Heating and Air Conditioning of the office very long. Our corporation closed the office and both of us had to work from our own central a/c. I was against that decision and lobbied to stay inside that commercial Heating and Air Conditioning as part of the skeleton staff. That request was denied and I was sent lake house to the residential Heating and Air Conditioning of our home. When I started laboring from home, I just honestly didn’t put that much effort into it because I literally thought we had be going right back to the office. That all changed by the Summer of 2020 when all the layoffs started happening. I was fortunate to keep our task despite the fact that I did have to take a spend money cut to continue laboring from the central a/c of home. For some reason, this kind of kicked myself and others into gear and I honestly started saying to myself that I needed to get comfortable laboring from home. So I cleared out a spare room and made it a dedicated office space. I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed laboring from home. I was even further surprised that I declined the invitation when the Heating and Air Conditioning at work was available again. Instead, I put in a ductless heat pump in our modern lake house office and will continue to work remotely.
