I understand why I was so hesitant to finally ditch the paycheck and go freelance, that was entirely the plan at least. I spent four years inside the radiant heating of a dorm room to get an education that helped pursue my passion. However, I would need to spend some time inside the commercial HVAC of a corporate entity first, as there absolutely wasn’t any other way around it for me. I didn’t want to work for a large company, although I didn’t have the money or the experience to go out on my own from the start. I started out in a cubicle nearly a dozen years ago, and by the time the pandemic hit I had been promoted to the floors that had zone controlled HVAC. I was entirely rising through the ranks of that company, and indeed I loved getting those paychecks every two weeks. I spent plenty of time inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office, although I made a nice living doing it. Still, there was part of me that felt like I was completely selling myself short. It took a global health crisis for me to finally realize that it was time for me to spread my own wings. Working from the central air conditioning of my home absolutely did change my whole perspective when it came to my job. In 2022, I decided to go out on my own and keep working from my apartment, but in a freelance capacity. It’s entirely horrifying in some senses, however it’s also working out absolutely great. and, I have a ductless heat pump inside my home office that rivals the zone controlled HVAC of my seasoned office.
