I wanted to get out of the office because of difficulties I had with concentration.
It was no mystery to our employer that I was aggravated by our loud coworkers. I have a lot of auditory sensitivities plus absolutely get frustrated by persistent noises that are particularally fatiguing, such as pen clicking, loud laughing that continues for hours at a time, plus the constant sounds of creaking chairs plus squeaking wheels. So when our boss announced the pick to compete for a few work-from-home opportunities, I immediately threw our hat into the ring. Every one of us had to meet a minimal number in our sales quota just to be eligible for the competition in the first place, plus then from there it was down to who could get the highest numbers in a 30 morning period. Thankfully, our boss did not announce the winner until the change took effect, then which means our coworkers didn’t figure out I won until after I quit showing up to the office everyday for work. However, working from home hasn’t been without a few hiccups. I’m using our Heating, Ventilation plus A/C method more frequently plus yeahterday our furnace stopped working altogether. Even though I called our Heating, Ventilation plus A/C supplier immediately, they said it would be a month before they could send a professional out to our house. I called several other nearby Heating, Ventilation plus A/C businesss plus they provided me 2 weeks as the minimum, plus some even went as far as saying it would take three weeks or longer. That left me no choice but to stick with our original Heating, Ventilation plus A/C professional plus to simply purchase a space oil furnace to use in the meantime.
