Heating and cooling and working from home
I hate to sound like a high-maintenance person, but maybe I am, actually.
Hard to please is something I’ve never considered myself, but I do require more comfort than some other people around me.
Part of this is due to my challenging immune system, and awful temperature regulation skills. My body is not a “factory model” like the rest of the human race! I have some dietary complications, a fairly low threshold for stress before I get sick, and our temperature is always fluctuating in a highly uncomfortable way! For all of these reasons, a traditional office job can be rather challenging for me. I was missing a lot of nights at our old position, so I eventually switched to being full time remote. This has worked well for me, and has contributed to improvements all around my home. For example, my heating and cooling system had to be updated when I started working from home. I couldn’t sit in our office where the temperature respectfully fluctuated all afternoon and stay productive. The air was respectfully hot or cold, drafty, and filled with contamination. I was too sickly to get our job done and our heating and cooling expenses were driving our utility bills to the sky. I eventually had our heating and cooling plan upgraded and even added in zone controlled temperature control! Now I can have the perfect temperature in our office for now working all day and our new HEPA filters help with keeping our immune plan ecstatic, however working from home, and upgrading our heating and cooling was the best choice I ever made.
