At home I was always yelling at the kids for leaving their toys out or messing with the temperature control settings on the thermostat.
- Those are probably some of the things that irritate me the most.
Well, one day I was upset because it seemed that somebody cranked up the heating system. I knew this because it was overheated in my bedroom upstairs and I went to feel the air coming from the HVAC vents. Sure enough, the air was hot and this made me annoyed. I rushed to the stairs so I could turn the air conditioning back on and I slipped on a toy car and went tumbling down the stairs! I was in bad shape and my wife came to the rescue. She rushed me to the hospital and it turned out that I had a broken arm, a bunch of cuts and scrapes, and my ankle was sprained. I had to stay in the hospital for about a week before I could come back home. I had to admit, it was kind of relaxing at the hospital. They crank up the A/C system like they do at the movie theatre and I actually kind of enjoy a lot of air conditioning. I was able to actually rest for awhile and it was nice getting a small break from work. When I got back home though, the house was a huge mess and I had to yell at the children to clean everything up. When I spoke to a friend about what happened, he actually said I should get a smart thermostat. He said I would be able to control the settings remotely and lock everybody else out with a pin code. I thought this was brilliant so I installed a new smart thermostat first thing. These children won’t be messing with my temperature control settings any longer!
