Meanwhile, the folks in back were begging for heat and rolling down their windows for warmer air
Sometimes I feel that I am just not meant to interact with other human beings. I do not have any kind of problem with my own species, however it seems like we have connection errors. Whenever I am speaking, I see my peers’ eyes glaze over. Whenever they start talking, I could not be less interested. Unfortunately, being a modern professional makes this a strenuous problem to have. As much as I would like to avoid all of my co-workers and colleagues, it’s not permitted. Now I know, this can create even greater concerns when you are forced to share a space and a control unit with them. I feel most of us have run into office control unit disagreements before. Some of the people like indoor air to be nice and cold, and some people adore it being drastically warm. This can cause a lot of tension and toxicity around the office air temperature control system. However, it can get even worse… Last month my boss insisted that we go on a supplier trip together for team building. Well, the only team that we managed to build was a diehard group of Heating and A/C haters. You see, from the moment that we started driving together, it was clear that there were two very strange opinions about indoor air temperature control in the car. The driver did not adore using indoor air temperature control systems at all. The person riding shotgun was continually turning the A/C up higher and higher. Meanwhile, the folks in back were begging for heat and rolling down their windows for warmer air. My associate and I didn’t even make it to the conference before we were fighting over the control unit – just like at the office.
