It was not all that easy for me to work remotely in the air conditioning of my house for as long as I did.
But that was one of a list of things that I had to deal with when it came to the pandemic.
There were so many changes and stuff we had to do without. Yet, I’m very thankful to have gotten through all of this mess without having gotten the virus or lost a loved one to it. So if it took staying close to the HVAC safety and security of home, so be it. Still, I just really missed the office. The company I work for is great. It’s a local company and the owners of the company work right along side of us. I was sort of worried when they closed the office that it might be the last time I saw that office. There were a lot of mid sized companies around here that just didn’t make it. But the team worked from our home in our air conditioning in order to keep the company alive and profitable. The results from that year of working at home in the HVAC were impressive. Not only did we keep the company afloat, we were able to get close to our pre pandemic budget forecast. When the offices opened up again late this past spring, we had a heating and cooling surprise waiting for us. As a sort of thank you, along with a bonus check, we now had zone controlled HVAC in our offices. I have to say that I’m thrilled with this as there are a lot of people in this office and there was only one thermostat.
