Nothing is worse than not having air conditioning on a hot day. I would know this because last week, my air conditioner stopped working and I was stuck at home without the cool air. I think I would have been fine with my air conditioning if I was at work most of the day, but unfortunately, I work from home. I noticed the lack of cool air almost immediately and I called the local HVAC company as fast as I could. They only had emergency appointments left and I wasn’t willing to pay for that, so I had to wait two days before an HVAC professional could get to my house. In the meantime, I set up my workstation at a coffee shop for those two days and I worked from there. I didn’t have a lot of space, but I did have a ton of coffee and cool air. During the evenings, I was able to stay with a friend because I couldn’t sleep without air conditioning. You never truly know who your friends are until you need them and their air conditioning. Although I was eternally grateful for the coffee shop and my friend’s house with air conditioning, I was anxious to get back to my own home. There’s nothing like home and being comfortable in your own space. The HVAC professional was able to get to my house over the next two days and fix my air conditioner on the spot, which I was eternally grateful for. I wanted nothing more than to return to my normal workplace and home.
