Now, I have a full on office in my home
I’ve been out on my own now for just over a year. Making a living as my own boss was not exactly by design. This was the option I went with after my job got clipped by the pandemic. You know, as I was cleaning up my desk that last day before we were all sent home, I had a feeling this might not turn out great. And I loved working in those offices with the zone controlled HVAC. Plus, I’d been with this local firm for nearly two decades and was a local expert in my field. But there was something sort of ominous among the staff as we cleared out for the safety of our own air conditioning at home. That local company was indeed a casualty of the pandemic and while we tried to hang on by working remotely from home, it was really pretty much a lost cause. The company went belly up just months into the summer of 2020. So, I had to figure out how to make a living and do it from the HVAC safety and security of my home. I actually fell back on my degree and it’s been really an amazing trip thus far. It started as an online gig writing some copy for websites. From there, I got some work doing some editing and then it just sort of took off. Now, I have a full on office in my home. I cleared out the guest room and had the HVAC company install a ductless heat pump so I didn’t disrupt the temperature in the rest of the house. I have to say that the ductless heat pump equals that zone controlled HVAC of the office.
