My life has settled down a bit.
- A promotion a few years ago has allowed me to be at home a lot more.
It’s a regular thing now for me to come home from work and be met with the warm HVAC comfort of home. That was not the way it was for a lot of years. Much of what my company does has to have an onsite project manager. That was my role for over a decade. That means I lived on the road for much of that time. While I rarely actually lived somewhere full time for a project, I would be on the road weekly. This meant night after night in hotels and dealing with the HVAC. Maybe it’s just me but, I have had more problems with HVAC comfort at higher end hotels than anywhere else I’ve stayed. That seems impossible. It should be the other way around right? Well not in my case. And I think I can speak to the HVAC issues fairly well given all the room nights I have accumulated over the years. It actually came down to me asking the lodging people to put me in a more midscale hotel room. I had a company car anyway to get to the project site. So, it wasn’t like I needed to stay downtown in the cities I worked in. The midscale hotels I could count on to have good HVAC. They have never let me down. Plus, it was nice to have a window that would open so I could get some fresh air from time to time. Now, that I’m off the road, I still look to those hotel chains that have the reliable and strong HVAC units.
