There are guys working on the HVAC system across the street

There are guys working on the HVAC system of the building across the street this morning.

I noticed it whenever I got to work this morning because my office window overlooks the building next door.

I have to say that the HVAC technicians who work for the commercial HVAC company that they are using are quite nice to look at! Here I am at work, and it’s pretty hard to concentrate at my desk because my gaze keeps on drifting down to look at the handsome HVAC technicians who are working on the building next door. It’s funny because some of the other women who work on my floor keep coming by my desk. I have the desk that is the closest to the window, and I know that they are just making excuses to come by my desk and hang out because they want to look out the window too! It’s true that we usually don’t have a nice view to look at when we are at work, so it’s nice to have all of these super handsome HVAC technicians working away on the roof right next door. I am actually hoping that there is something really wrong with the HVAC system over there so that these guys will be back tomorrow or even every day for the rest of the week! That would make for a very exciting week for me and my co-workers! I know that it sounds crazy, but we all get really bored at work so any kind of excitement is very much welcome around here.

The A/C unit just couldn’t keep up with the demand

Last weekend though, it was crazy.

The A/C unit just couldn’t keep up with the demand over the weekend last week. It got so hot outside that I was miserable for the most part for the entire weekend. Sometimes I wonder why I even live here because it really gets hot here during the summer. I just do not do well when there are high temperatures, and I probably should move up north somewhere where it doesn’t get as hot. Up until this point in my life, though, I have just not made any big moves like that and I don’t know that I ever will. Now that I am getting older, maybe I will start liking the heat more than I have previously. I know a lot of older people end up moving south because they like the high temperatures down there, so maybe it will turn out to be the same way for me and I can continue to stay here. As it is right now, I will continue to keep on using the air conditioning system in my house on full blast throughout the hot summer months. Last weekend though, it was crazy. It is not ever this hot during the spring around here, so everyone was pretty surprised that we had such high temperatures. I think that’s why the air conditioning was unable to keep up with the demand that I was putting on it. We haven’t had our usual yearly air conditioning tune up yet because it’s so early in the season. Hopefully the A/C tune up will get everything running smoothly with the HVAC unit.

The air conditioning system turned off every two hours

At this hotel we stayed at the other night, the air conditioning system kept turning off every two hours.

It wasn’t so bad when we were awake, but after we went to sleep, it became really annoying.

I kept waking up every time the air conditioning turned off. I love having white noise while I’m sleeping, and so when it turns off suddenly, it makes me wake up with a jolt. I can’t sleep whenever there is total silence, and that is exactly what kept on happening while we were at the hotel. I am not going to lie about it either. It really does annoy me how I can spend so much money for one night in a hotel room and then the air conditioning keeps me from even getting one good night’s sleep! I was more than a little miffed about the whole thing when I got up the following morning and then went down for breakfast in the lobby. I told the manager at the front desk of the hotel about the issues with the A/C and he said that there was not anything that he could do about it. He actually commiserated with me and told me that he hated the new air conditioning system also. He said that everyone who came into the hotel complained about it. The owners of the hotel had decided corporately that that was the direction that they were going as far as the eco-friendly movement goes. Everyone hates it, but that’s the way it is from now on. I hope other hotels do not follow in their footsteps, though!

Old condo with the heated floor bookstore perfect book nook with the perfect heating

I have always sought out places to study, including bookstores and libraries.

When I was in college, I made a friend in the study group who invited me to meet her grandparents, the people responsible for her interest in learning.

The libraries I’ve been to are perfectly warm, but the house where a friend of mine had her happiest childhood had the best heating system I’ve ever encountered. My coworker and I had intended to spend the weekend there. When my friend and I first entered the condo, we were struck by its immaculate condition. When I walked in, the floor was warm and it wasn’t the carpet, which was a surprise because I was expecting an old condo with a great library and maybe some cool features. Ola’s grandpa was in the bookstore where I was and saw my expression. He blamed the hydronic heating system. I don’t remember how it transpired, but I ended up having a frank discussion with the Grandpa about the specifics of the heating and air conditioning systems in their condo and how he always made sure they had timely Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) maintenance. Another of his grandchildren worked in HVAC, and he was the one who first told his family about the hybrid heating system they now use. The unique combination of heat pump and heating system in this apparatus impressed him greatly. Surprisingly, the expert from the family’s heating company was visiting that weekend to perform the necessary maintenance on the heater, and I got to meet him. He was just as impressive as Grandpa had said, and I ended up going with him to help a family friend with some boiler maintenance in the neighborhood. I’ll tell my kids that the guy who specialized in heating systems at a dealership is now my partner.
