I have to divulge that getting an instant study thermal gun was a surprise, and getting it at the office Christmas celebration was even more of a surprise.
It turned out that the entire crew gifted me this and it took a minute to understand why, but once I got it and started grinning, the entire crew fell to pieces, for sure, I am the control unit sheriff in the office.
And I make no bones about it. It’s not a work responsibility that I asked for or ever wanted but it’s one that fell to me. I had been charged with reducing overhead costs in the office, so of course the control unit setting was a target. While I’m not a confrontational person, I wasn’t having it with people yanking the control unit all over. I appealed to them nicely, but then I finally just had the heating and air conditioning company put in a smart control unit and I was the only one with the manual override code. It was clever and I easily found it sort of hilarious. I also found the source of a puzzling draft in my home that has bedeviled me and made our heating costs soar. The thermal gun allowed me to find the spot where the cold air was pouring inside. And that was one of the windows that we had replaced with double paned windows when we moved in. I got the window company back out here to properly insulate it and the home is cozier now. Plus, I’ll be saving a bit on my heating costs as well.
