I get to choose my office’s model of air conditioning
My job was one of the first to send us home when the virus first struck.
- At first, I was pretty unhappy, our job seemed like the kind that wasn’t going to send us home, so this was an unwelcome surprise.
While I’m sure most people are quite excited to work from home, I was dreading it. Why? For a couple reasons, one, I am quite popular at my job, and have friends that I love to work with. Two was because I know I have horrible discipline and have difficulty getting up in the morning to do my job. If I know that my office is just a few feet away, I know that will encourage me to just stay in bed. However after working for a couple of weeks, I noticed one really big pro of working at home. I get to choose my model of air conditioning. At work, I am situated right next to a window air conditioner. However, unless you were directly looking at it, you probably wouldn’t even know it’s there, because it’s cooling air output is awful, to say the least. I feel really bad for my coworkers since the window air conditioning is the only one in the entire building, and I’m the only one close to it. With my own home office, I was able to go and buy my own mini split ductless A/C for my office. With the ductless HVAC, I stayed cool all morning and afternoon. Then when I was done, I simply just shut off the mini split A/C unit and walked into my kitchen to prepare dinner. Maybe working from home isn’t going to be as bad as I thought.
