I’ve always had an office downtown with all my other employees. For the past 20 years, I’ve gone to work in that office every Monday through Friday. My desk is there, my computer is there, and all my work related belongings. My wife has her own office that’s only for her and two of her closest friends. They all work remotely, so they’ve been renting an office space for several years now. When the pandemic hit, I wasn’t allowed to work from my office downtown anymore. There were too many employees working from the building and we ran the risk of contracting the virus. When this happened, I was forced to work from home, but I didn’t like it. The space wasn’t set up for professional work and I struggled to get things done. I couldn’t focus during normal working hours, and I had a hard time separating my home from work. Because of this, I started working from my wife’s office with her. On my first day though, I realized something about my wife that I never knew before. She worked best in a cold office because according to her, it increased productivity. Her office space was freezing when I walked inside and it felt like there was no temperature difference from the outside. I took one glance at her thermostat and saw the number 63 degrees. That was really low for the furnace! I’ve been working from her cold office for several months now and I can honestly say I’ve only heard the furnace kick on a handful of times. I can’t say anything about the temperature though because it isn’t my space.
