I work late the overnight shift.
I’ve always liked working late.
I guess I’m a bit of a night-owl. My husband and I had it worked out pretty good with him working a regular 9-5 job and me working overnight. We still ate dinner together and had a significant amount of free time. So it was great. However, with Covid 19, and the lockdown, we both now work from home and we do nothing but bicker. The biggest thing we fight about is the thermostat settings. We both like the temperature super cold when we are trying to sleep. This wasn’t a problem before but it is now. That is because it is hard to stay awake and work when the temperature is in the 60s. So at night I struggle with working my shift because I want to sleep when it is that cold. My husband has the same issue when I am trying to sleep during the day. And yet, if one of us adjusts the thermostat so we can work then the sleeping party wakes up and can’t sleep. So we are always tired and grumpy now. We tried compromising on the thermostat setting but then no one is comfortable. Finally, we sat down and talked about the issue. We decided to get zone control installed in our house. That way, we can set the thermostat to freezing cold in the bedroom while keeping it nice and warm in the living room where our home offices are. I hope that the HVAC installation company is able to install this zone control very soon. Otherwise, we may end up killing one another.
