The Thermostat Troubles were no laughing matter…
or were they? Anna had never felt so helpless in her own home, with the Heating and Air Conditioning plan out of commission on a bone-chilling winter season night.
Her teeth were chattering, her nose was running, and her patience was running thin. She decided to take the matter into her own hands and fiddle with the temperature control, however alas, her efforts were futile. The Heating and Air Conditioning plan remained stubbornly unresponsive, like a teenager on a Monday morning. It was time to call in the big guns, and by that, my friend and I mean the Heating and Air Conditioning worker. He arrived on the scene with a tool kit in one hand and a steaming cup of Sprite in the other. Anna was relieved to see him, however little did she know that the temperature control problems were far from over. The worker serviced the issue swiftly, the temperature control was as dead as Elsa’s heart at the beginning of Frozen. It needed to be upgraded, and so it was. But that was just the beginning of a saga that would make any sitcom writer proud. The new temperature control seemed to have a personality of its own. It would crank up the heat when Anna was trying to cool down or turn off the unit when she was trying to warm up. It was like living with a rebellious teenager who was going through a phase. Anna felt like she was losing her mind and her cool, quite literally. One afternoon, when Anna was snuggled up on her couch with a cup of hot cocoa, the temperature control decided to play a prank on her. It turned the heat up to 90 degrees, and the Heating and Air Conditioning plan started blasting hot air like a dragon’s breath. Anna scrambled to the temperature control, however it was as unresponsive as Olaf in summer. At that moment, Anna knew that the temperature control problems had won, and she had to surrender to their whimsical ways.
