I actually recall the day our boss informed us that they would be closing the office due to the pandemic.
- This was not wonderful news.
And not just because I would miss the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation plus A/C. Although, I certainly did miss it in the first place. No, I was sad merely because closing the office wasn’t going to be the only change I had to deal with. I certainly knew there would be layoffs and I was genuinely hoping I would be one of the people who were kept on to work from their own a/c device. Fortunately for me, that was the way it ended up turning out. But at first, it was quite the taxing transition to be laboring from my household. First, it was challenging to find a venue that was quiet and I would be able to focus. The little ones were studying remotely due to the pandemic so we were all sharing the a/c safety of the household. But I finally found a spot. However, that spot was sort of a storage room in our household. It got this designation because it was at the end of the household and got direct sun all day. It was the warmest room in the household for certain. That’d be wonderful if we didn’t live where the a/c device is on for like 8 months out of the year. Still, I was able to entirely get into my work. Ironically, my work quality and quantity jumped drastically. And the bosses noticed. So when the offices reopened, I chose to stay at my household and continue to work remotely. However, I did have the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C device supplier come in and install a ductless mini split in my modern household office.
