Really, it all just seemed to have happened for a reason.
- The way it all sort of lined up and came together is now sort of evident to me.
Of course, when I escorted out of the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation plus A/C of the office I had occupied for more than a decade, I couldn’t see it. At the time, I was just a casualty of a merger. That corner office with the thermostat all our own was mine one morning and gone the next. When the merger went through, I sort of tried to canvas our bosses who all thought that our position would be safe. That wasn’t the case. Nor was it the case for some of those boys either. It was undoubtedly just a pretty giant purge. The severance package was nothing to sneeze at and helped with a softer landing. In fact, I used some of that severance pay to invest in a apartment office. Along with all the respected office stuff that I would need, I had a ductless heat pump installed as well. Since our oldest is out of school and making his own way, It was his room that I took over. But it’s also the hottest room in the house. The people I was with and I live in a region where the heat is the deal and that room was a roaster. This is why the ductless heat pump was necessary right from the jump. Oddly enough, I was able to sort of keep calm and get on with maybe doing our own thing while I looked for other employment. It didn’t take a week before I was doing freelance consulting for some of the undoubtedly companies that I used to compete against.
