Getting accustomed to air conditioning again

It’s been a while since I last experienced air conditioning here in the Summer.

  • Well actually, it’s been a long while since I lived here at all.

I’ve been living abroad since just after finishing my Master’s degree. I joined a government department that kept me working outside of the States for the last 30 years. Now that I’m winding my career down, I’m back in my home region and working from the zone controlled HVAC of an office. This is a far cry from what I have experienced over all of these years. Mostly, I’ve been in very warm locations trying to help build stable economies and modernize developing countries. So the idea of walking into residential HVAC during that time was not on the radar. I never lived anywhere that had central air conditioning. I mean, there wasn’t even a window air conditioner or anything like that. I come from the south of this country and thought I knew a thing or two about heat and humidity. Well, I had no idea as there are far warmer places out there. That’s why I’m finding it so tough to get accustomed to all the air conditioning. I moved back this Winter and that was shock enough even though our region needs little in the way of heating. But now, the air conditioning seems to be on all the time and it’s only mid April. I still have all the windows open in the place I’m living. I’m hoping the heat pump is in good shape in this apartment. I have no idea since it hasn’t been on a single time yet. I’m wondering if being inside the commercial HVAC of the office will finally get me to turn on the air conditioning at home.
