You know, I think my husband secretly enjoyed having the pandemic happen.
First off, he finally got to work from home instead of from the zone controlled HVAC of his office.
For years, he told me that he thought he could cut his work time in half if he didn’t have to deal with all the distractions at the office. While the zone controlled HVAC was super, there was a lot of politics and mismanagement going on at his work prior to the pandemic. So he spent a lot of his time at the office fixing the work other people were messing up. When he had to work from the air conditioning of our home during the pandemic, he did just what he said he would. The man was able to do all his work and then some in like 5 or 6 hours. I’m sort of wondering if he’ll push to make working from home permanent now that the office is open again. The other reason he loved the pandemic was because he loves cutting costs. And man, did he ever get his wish over the last two years. It was as though he had an automatic no locked and loaded when anyone wanted to spend money. For years, he’s refused to spend for the HVAC company to install a smart thermostat. But thanks to our boys, we had to get that smart thermostat the hard way. I’m usually pretty good about stopping the roughhouse or contact sports from happening in the house. But recently, I was in another room when I heard the distinct sound of plastic being destroyed. The boys put a football square into the old digital thermostat. Yet, I got my smart thermostat.
