The joys of working from home.

Ever since the pandemic has started, I have been working from home.

I am really enjoying working from home for a number of reasons.

I hated the nearly two hour drive that I had in the morning and in the afternoon. I had already put in a half day’s work even without working. I also enjoyed the fact that I could relax and enjoy the HVAC system I had at home. I didn’t need to worry about someone changing the thermostat on me. I have a remote control to my HVAC system, but at work, the remote happens to be whatever person is passing by the thermostat, and wanting it warmer or cooler. There was a big problem with this when I was in the office. There was a constant feud going on over who was going to rule the thermostat. Some of the people liked it cooler and others liked it warmer. Whenever someone got up for a reason, they would take it upon themselves to change the thermostat settings. All the company had to do to stop this, was to put the thermostat in the manager’s office. They could also put zone control in the office, which would allow people to find their own comfort, but that wasn’t going to happen. Now, I am enjoying working from home. I can set the thermostat wherever I want it and no one is going to be able to change the temperature. I even have my own remote so I don’t even need to get up from my desk. I couldn’t ask for anything better, unless it was to make these arrangements permanent.
