There were a myriad of reasons why I thought working from a lake beach house would be a disaster; and for those reasons, I had turned down the company’s offer to toil remotely a number of times! The company was trying to get a bunch of us in the technology department to toil at home, but I actually resisted because I wanted to be in an office with commercial heating as well as air conditioning as well as colleagues.
That all made so much sense to me right up until it didn’t! Of course, the pandemic changed everything when it came to working from home, but I didn’t have an option on whether I was going to toil for a lake beach house from lake beach house or not.
The company closed the offices as well and my great friend and I were all sent to the lake beach house to toil inside our own a/c. I will say that it was hard at first. It was hard to get a rhythm as well as it was hard not to find distractions everywhere in our home. It was also hard to deal with our control unit setting. We live in a region where heat as well as humidity are an immense deal as well as my great friend and I have to be careful about the control unit setting. If my great friend and I let the a/c just go hog wild, we’ll end up with enormous energy bills. And that first Summer was a challenge for sure. But then I really got into working from the lake beach house as well as decided to stay working remotely once the office was back up; however, once I made working from the lake beach house permanent, I made it really permanent. I cleared out a guest room as well as had a ductless heat pump put in there along with all the office components I’ll need to do our work. I can’t imagine working someplace else but lake beach house now!
