It’s so nice to be able to work from home in the central air conditioning of my home.
I sure hate all the suffering and upheaval that came with the pandemic.
But that global health crisis also changed my life for the better. Like many companies, mine shut down the office with the zone controlled HVAC and sent us all home. Most people that I work with were really put off by this situation but I was secretly so pleased. While I really enjoy the work that I do, I don’t enjoy the environment at the office. Don’t get me wrong, the place is well appointed and has great commercial HVAC. So there is never a comfort issue as much as the environment of the office is uncomfortable from a different perspective. All the politics and drama of the office get to be too much for me. I like to steer clear of that whenever possible. Plus, I was constantly being interrupted by a litany of things when trying to do my work. What I do takes concentration and focus. So working inside that commercial HVAC of the office was tough with all the interruptions. That all changed as soon as I got home and got to work. The first thing I did was create a designated area for me to work from. Otherwise, I knew that I’d be distracted with doing chores or other household things. I cleared out the guest room and turned it into my full time office. This was the best thing I could have done. Right off the bat, I was totally in the zone when it came to my work.
