I am known around the office to be a bit of a control freak.
I don’t think that it is an unfair label.
I am extremely diligent when it comes to my work and I expect everybody else to be, as well. I also expect a lot of respect and cooperation from all of my workmates. That being said, I know that it is going to be difficult when we embark on this company retreat together. I don’t want to solidify the control freak reputation that I have, but I also am already worried about staying in a house where I cannot control the central heating, cooling, and air quality control system. You see, for as long as I can remember I have been very particular about my ideal indoor air temperature range. If the thermostat is not working properly according to my air quality needs, I am an unhappy camper. I get very grumpy when there are hot and cold patches throughout an indoor space. I get very aggressive when I am being tormented by cold drafts from several directions. And I am in the worst mood ever after I cannot sleep at night because the indoor air temperature is too hot. This is why I’m trying to figure out how I can secure the indoor air quality control program before anybody else manages to ruin the air temperature in the house. I don’t want to be a tyrant over the central heating and cooling system… But I also am going to freak out if I cannot be in charge of the air conditioner and forced air furnace settings.
