The pandemic really shook things up for me in just about all facets of my life. While I was lucky enough to not get the virus, there were other positives as well. For one, I learned that working from the central air conditioning of my home was tolerable. Once we were sent home from the zone controlled HVAC of the office, I was worried about my job, the company and what the future held. Our company is privately held and I wasn’t so sure just how long it could last during that initial economic squeeze. There are about 50 of us who work for this company and we were all sent home to the central air conditioning of our houses. But for me, much of my work was being the face of the company in person with clients. Suddenly, I wasn’t flying or traveling and trying to communicate with clients online only. That just really wasn’t working so we decided to change it up. That required a change to our clients rotation so I could simply get in a car and get to them in my region. And that’s now the way it remains. It’s so great not to have to deal with commercial air travel any longer. I just load up the car, hit the air conditioning and get on down the road. And I’m finding such consistently great commercial HVAC in the hotels along the interstate. and, those hotels are saving the company money as well. And I sure don’t mind a free breakfast on my way out the door in the morning.
