Space heater goes home from the office

The day finally came when I packed up my two fans and the space heater in my cubicle.

I wasn’t sure that this day would ever come.

It’s not that I got fired or am taking another job elsewhere. The company I work for finally upgraded the commercial HVAC in our offices. This was such a point of contention for the last several years. So much so that I was even looking for other possibilities rather than face another Summer of ineffective air conditioning at work. You know, it’s not like standing in line at a store where the commercial HVAC isn’t so great. I hate that as well but it only takes minutes before I’m either in a new store or in my car with better air conditioning. Working all Summer in this region without good air conditioning is just brutal. We seem to get the worst of the Winter and the Summer. During the Winter, the old commercial HVAC was also just as ineffective when it came to heating. That’s why I had to bring in my own space heater and stash it under my desk inside my cubicle. Just as I was about to go for an interview for a lateral move to another company, the unthinkable happened. We got a memo that we would have to work remotely for a few days while the HVAC professionals replaced the commercial HVAC equipment. I came back to the office to find zone controlled HVAC and a thermostat right near my end of the office. I gave it a couple of days first but it was clear that this HVAC upgrade was the solution we had all been wanting. So my fans and space heater came home.
