Life took everyone by surprise as no one anticipated the pandemic’s coming.
But it happened the way it did and I had to adjust just like the rest of the world. Almost immediately, the company I worked for closed the offices and sent me home to consider working remotely. That meant no more zone controlled Heating & Air Conditioning for me. And that wasn’t the best because it also meant sharing my house with teenagers who didn’t want to homeschool. Beside that, my wife and I both tried to share the office in our house insite of having two different working styles. Eventually, this led me to creating my own space in the basement. The first thing I did was get some great heating and cooling equipment. The Heating & Air Conditioning company came and installed a ductless heat pump for me. Over the first months of that summer, I started embarrassing working from the home office even more. Working from home worked for me. So when the eventual layoffs came, I was ready. For some years earlier, I had planned to leave the company to go out on my own in a sort of free lance manner. Some would call it a consultant however I’m a bit more services oriented expert. Even so, I knew that I would have to start from the houses and maybe partner with some friends in the long run. Therefore, the pandemic sort of gave me a head start on what to do and where to begin. I quickly became a success and this made me more eager to venture out.
