I thought my finances were supposed to improve the older I got and the longer I worked; however for me, it’s almost working in reverse.
I went from a wonderful zone controlled HVAC at the office to working from home in my own central cooling system, and that comes after a decade or so of my budget being pretty limited, and I lost a lot in the previous session that never came back.
However, working from home inside the central cooling system of my house, that heating and cooling is pressing on me. That’s because I still appreciate getting to soak up as much residential HVAC as I do from my house. It’s as though I am kneeling in front of the computer inside the HVAC all day. The HVAC also became a target for cost cutting as well. The HVAC cost while in the Wintertide is nearly nothing as it’s so mild here now. But the rest of the time the HVAC cost can be significant. However the HVAC cooling during the four weeks of summer time takes the largest bite out of my budget, so I try my hardest to be sure that we are not over cooling the house. I have even l received a request to program the HVAC thermostat so the thermostat setting is in the eighties while in the heat of the day. The people I was with and I also prepared the condo and mitigated the direct sunshine heating to help save on the central cooling system cost. But we draw the line at being uncomfortable while in sleep so we adjust the thermostat so we have plenty of cooling at night.
