This winter is going to come with all the heating I can get
My new coworkers are having the best time.
They are keen to remind me that real winter is just beginning.
But the last two months have been the coldest that I have ever experienced. November temperatures often fell to near freezing at night. And the gas furnace was running at night well before Halloween. I was sort of stunned by the whole thing given the fact that I’ve never encountered anything like this where I come from. First of all, I’ve never even seen a gas furnace in my life. Granted, I’m still in my mid twenties so there’s going to be plenty of other things I encounter for the first time. But when I took this job, I didn’t really contemplate what a huge change it would be climate wise. That was a huge miscalculation. I’m living in a starter home that has a new gas furnace. While the place is pretty small and sparsely furnished, it’s mine and the HVAC equipment is top notch. Were that not the case, I might be turning around and heading home. It’s Christmas now and this will be my first white Christmas. It will also be the first time I’m stuck inside my house with the gas furnace raging. It looks like I’ll be up here by myself for Christmas. Well, that’s not the worst thing in the world since I couldn’t get out of work as I’m the new guy. At least I have a great gas furnace. I’m going to spend the Christmas holiday doing nothing but cranking the gas furnace for all the heating I can stand.
