I have to divulge that getting an instant-read 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 component sheriff in the office. And I make no bones about it. It’s not a task 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 component setting was a target, while I’m not a confrontation person, I wasn’t having it with people yanking the control component all over. I appealed to them nicely, then I finally just had the heating and air conditioning dealer put in a smart control component and I was the only one with the manual override code. It was clever and I entirely did find it sort of hilarious. However, I also found the source of a puzzling draft in my house 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 my superb friend and I had replaced with double paned windows when my superb friend and I moved in. I got the window dealer back out here to properly insulate it and the house is cozier now. I’ll be saving a bit on my heating costs as well.
