I also feel indebted to my parents for encouraging me to try ductless HVAC systems
I don’t miss the days of working in cramped offices with hordes of other people. The breakroom was always filled with chattering voices regardless of which shift I had and as soon as a few people got sick with the flu, it would spread like wildfire throughout all of the employees there. The HVAC systems would grab the respiratory particles and redistribute them inside. Even if I tried to sanitize my workspace, I couldn’t avoid the stray coughing from those who were afflicted and the air leaving the ductwork. I wish people were more mindful of those around them, but this has been a problem for as long as our species has existed on Earth. Nowadays it’s even worse in societies entrenched in unchecked individualism where everyone feels like the star and lead character in their own story or film. We’re stoking the flames of a culture of narcissism by encouraging mantras like “it’s ME time!” and “I need to put myself ahead of everyone else.” There is genuine self-care that all must learn and practice, but these delusional ideals go far beyond self-care and modest self-actualization. I took this mindset when I pursued remote work. Sure, I was happy to get away from the obnoxious people in the office and the poor indoor climate control, but I also feel like I’m actualizing my dreams at a modest rate in a way I never did before. And I’m accomplishing these dreams while simultaneously helping my family in any way or capacity that I can. I also feel indebted to my parents for encouraging me to try ductless HVAC systems. I stay in one room mostly throughout the work day and now I’m spending a lot less on heating and cooling costs. Why spend the money to heat or cool your entire house all day long if you’re segregated to specific zones for hours at a time?
