It was interesting to hear from a lot of former colleagues last year as everyone was attempting to make the transition to working remotely from home.
Of course, for much of 2020 more than 2 of us didn’t venture too far from the air conditioning safety of our homes.
I was the same way in fact. However, working from lake house wasn’t exactly modern to me in 2020. Working from lake house started for me in 2018. Although it happened as unexpectedly as what happened with my former colleagues and the pandemic. In 2018, I was 54 years aged and a part of the executive management for a huge supplier. I had a legitimately nice office that enjoyed zone controlled HVAC. There was still challenging work ahead of me and I had the passion still. But a single day, I was called into a conference room. That’s when I was summarily dismissed from my position at the supplier. The reason stated was a reorganization. However, it was legitimately a salary dump and I wasn’t the only member of senior leadership to get the axe. But I didn’t exactly hang my head. Instead, I cleared out the huge guest room in our home and put in an office. I mean, I put in an office with all the stuff I had in my former job even down to the quality heating and air. I had the HVAC supplier install a ductless heat pump inside that guest room. It turned out better than my aged office in fact. So, I was able to give plenty of tips to aged friends who were working from lake house for the first time.
