Making best of working from home in the HVAC

The list of great stuff that has come from the pandemic is short.

It’s beyond a short list because I have yet to really see some sort of benefit of this collective situation. Normally, when our country is in a tough spot, we come together. Not this time. It’s as though we are finding ways to further divide ourselves, even in a national crisis. But, that is not something that I can control. I just want to make the best of this situation because it is far from over. I’m at home in the HVAC far more than I have ever been in my entire life. It’s almost weird really. This summer, I have been more thankful for the HVAC in my home that I ever have. At least if I have to be inside all summer, I can rest assured that my house will be comfortable with our HVAC. I do really miss my office and my custom heating and cooling situation. Yea, I had a thermostat for my office. The whole building was zone controlled HVAC. It was fairly remarkable for an office building. But, I loved being able to set the HVAC thermostat to just where I wanted it. At home, it’s not quite the same way. I don’t really even have a proper office to work from. Currently, I am either under the HVAC vent at the kitchen table or at a small desk in the guest room. Neither is ideal. However, I can at least get great HVAC cooling at the dinner table. That’s where I work during the heat of the day. It’s not the best but I’m just trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
