This up-to-date normal surely has been a kick in the pants.
I was hoping that we’d be in better shape as the COVID19 pandemic ebbed.
But the gut punch of inflation has made that even more difficult. When the COVID19 pandemic first began, our business shut down the office pretty quick. I enjoyed the zone controlled Heating & A/C in the office suite, so that made it actually rough along with the steep pay cuts and missing my colleagues. I even had a control device right inside my office. It was so wonderful to be able to customize the control device setting to what I wanted. For some reason, I tend to enjoy working in more air conditioning than most of my colleagues. It keeps me alert to job in a cooler control device setting. So I absolutely worked from home and it was a whole strange thing. Although much of my job is independent, I still had a tough time finding a new rhythm when it came to absolutely working at home. Finally, I just had to clear out a spare room to create a real office. Once I did that, I fell in like with absolutely working remotely. My job quality was far better. My productivity was better. It was just all so surprising. Once the zone controlled Heating & A/C in the office was available again, I decided to opt out and stay home. Now that I am permanently and absolutely working remotely, I updated the Heating & A/C situation in the up-to-date office. I had the Heating & A/C business come out and install a ductless heater so I can prefer the most quality heating and air of any office somewhere else.
