Really don’t miss old office; cold, smelly, and sickly
There were no filtration devices installed to remove airborne contaminants and unwanted odors
I can’t believe that it’s been almost 2 months since I quit my job. I was working full-time at a local craft brewery as a logistics manager… And it wasn’t as cool as that sounds. Sure, there were some perks. I got more free beer than you could ever imagine. However, when you start growing an inner tube around your stomach, even that benefit starts to wear thin. One of the things that I really hated about working in that environment was the air condition. I was confined to a small office near the production floor where at least I had some air conditioning on my side. I appreciated having some form of indoor air quality control because the rest of the facility was open to the sweltering hot outdoor air. The heat and humidity made it absolutely miserable in the rest of the production space. I consider myself blessed to have a cooling system and a regular thermostat to set my ideal air conditions while I sat at my little desk. Unfortunately, the air conditioning system provided cool air but not fresh air. It regularly funneled the nasty indoor air directly off of the production floor and into my office. There were no filtration devices installed to remove airborne contaminants and unwanted odors. As a result, I was always being smacked in the face with noxious, smelly indoor air. It’s not so pleasant breathing in airborne yeast and fermenting particles all day. When people talk about smelling like a brewery, they really haven’t experienced the full extent of it.
