My current job demands that I plan and execute a big in-person event each year. It may not seem like a big deal, but let me assure you, it is. Hotels rip off the companies that use their space. The food is overpriced by about ten times what it should be, and every little thing costs a ridiculous amount of money. This year, we were in a contract with another organization to do the event together, which seemed like a good idea. Then, the virus came along, and now there is no in-person event, so our contract with them became null and void. They did their own virtual event. So, we are not having an event at all, which is bad for our budget, but easy on my workload. Anyway, I signed up to attend the virtual event, and that has been great because I get to enjoy my own a/c. At the hotels, the HVAC is always either too hot or too cold. They can never seem to get the a/c settings right. One time, the HVAC was actually broken! It was a nightmare, and attendees were so angry. Of course, there was nothing I could do about it, but I did manage to find the switches to turn on the ceiling fans while we waited on the a/c repair. So, it is nice to attend this virtual event in my pajamas or leggings in my bedroom computer and with the ceiling fan blowing full blast and the a/c thermostat set on a comfy 72 degrees. It’s kind of boring, though.
