Just last week I babysat for my friend.

I was a little nervous since this is the first time that I’ve ever had to watch a young girl.

I didn’t want anything to go wrong and I have been having some serious bad luck lately. It all started with my car breaking down while I was on my way to work. The alternator in my car went and I had to spend a few hundred dollars to get a new part and get it fixed. Then my heating system was on the fritz. I’ve been maintenancing my heating system like how I should. I’ve always been told that it’s important to change your air filter every 6 months and keep an eye on it. I also get my air ducts and air registers cleaned every eighteen months. I didn’t understand why my heating system just wasn’t reading the thermostat properly. I woke up and my house felt so hot! I looked to the thermostat and it read 82 degrees! I didn’t set my thermostat to this temperature. The thermostat was set to 70 degrees! There was a a 12 degree difference in my house. I couldn’t believe it! I knew something had to be up with my control unit. I don’t know much about heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems so I called a local HVAC professional. After he came to my house and looked at my HVAC unit, he diagnosed the problem with a faulty control unit. Despite having issues all week with little things, I was relieved to know that one of the biggest problems that I heavy rely on each week was quickly fixed by a heating and cooling professional.

Starting university & experiencing no air conditioning

A lot of people would be surprised that a lot of universitys try to save currency or do not have enough currency in their budget to expense certain things.

One of those things I realized when I was doing tours of universitys that I was interested in was a lot of them do not have a/cs in the dorms.

I even saw that some of the classrooms didn’t have any HVAC ducts or air vents that would allow a/c to go through. I was very shocked by this because when the weather is hot how can students be productive? I know that there were at least two classrooms in my high university that didn’t have any form of air conditioning except for portable floor a/cs. And those classrooms that had a lack in commercial air conditioning, made it very taxing to focus & be productive in those classes. That is why I am being very picky with the university that I choose because I want to go to a university where I’m going to get good grades because i’m focused & productive in class, however getting good grades doesn’t stem from just studying but it also comes from feeling comfortable because the temperature is set to a certain degree through a temperature control whether the temperature control is set to a boiler or an a/c. I know that my unique requirements are going to be taxing to find but even if I can find an HVAC system in my dorm I’ll be blissful because I do not want to have to go to a class that does not have an HVAC system & then also go back to a dorm that does not have an HVAC system either. Here’s to finding a university!

Getting fired from changing the temperature control

Since I am the oldest of two other siblings in my family you could say that as the oldest I did some things to very test my parents.

As all the people knows when you are the oldest child, your parents can be more strict on you because they have never had any other child to compare other experiences to.

I very anxious my family with a lot of things that I’ve done. When I was in high university I used to jump off our town’s local bridge in the summertime. I would go to parties & underage drink. Luckily my parents didn’t have to bail me out of jail, but there came a point in time where they almost had to. Now that I am in my forties my daring attitude has very toned down. But I did a dumb thing last monththat I can actually add to my list. So my boss has talked to me many times about my actions when it comes to changing the office’s temperature control. I can’t help not to touch the office temperature control because so several people in our office are also changing it. And those people never get caught in touching the temperature control. The other day one of my best buddies who works with me, dared me to change the temperature control in front of my boss. And with the daring attitude that I have, I did. My boss basically let me go because he saw me change the temperature control. According to him he warned me that if I ever pulled a stunt like changing the temperature control again he was going to terminate me. And that’s what he did, he let me go. Personally I want to go to human resources about this issue but I do not want to waste my breath over a stupid HVAC temperature control.

Restaurants switching from boilers to cooling systems

Within the past week the weather has gotten so much warmer. It’s like the weather fluctuations in a quick snap of a finger! Now I’m wanting to plant my garden for the upcoming weather. I want a much larger garden this year so I can use a lot of my vegetables for my dinner table. I very enjoy homegrown & fresh food. When the weather was colder I was going to pizzerias that serve a lot of fresh & local grown food. One of my favorite pizzerias that I go to frequently I wasn’t very pleased with… Normally I would walk in & the temperature would be nice & comfortable. They do a very good job setting their temperature control to a universal comfortable temperature. I have learn that a comfortable temperature that should be set on a temperature control is 74 degrees. This benefits people who are consistently hot or consistently cold, and however when I went to the pizzeria just last month, they had their a/c on full blast! I understood that the weather was warmer than usual outside, but I didn’t know that they should have had their a/c on high. This was a little absurd. I couldn’t stand at one of their tables & enjoy my dinner, then so that’s when I asked one of the employees if they could turn down their a/c. They told me that they couldn’t since the temperature control is set by their supervisor & their supervisor left for the day. I was a little aggravated by this so I put in a formal complaint that their heating & cooling system needs to be set to a more appropriate temperature for all guests, so one that is not too tepid & not too cold.

I don’t know people realize just how much currency nannies make.

The first time I heard the amount of currency nannies make in a week, especially in the city, was eye-opening! I had to instantly get into that field! My buddy makes about 1,500 dollars a week, it’s crazy! When she told me that, I went right to a job board finding nanny positions. I’ve been nannying for a family for about a week now & it’s not too bad. It’s a lot of work & responsibility, however for example, the dwelling that I was nannying at their a/c just stopped laboring. I went to the temperature control & switched the device on & then off & then back on again. I still could not hear the a/c turn back on. This issue was more than just switching the device on & off. I took matters into my own hands & called a local heating & cooling system. My boss was going to be out of town with no access to PCs for another three days. There was no way that the kids or myself would remotely be comfortable in this heat. Thankfully the heating & cooling serviceman came that day & was able to repair it within thirty minutes. The HVAC serviceman took the temperature control off the wall, made a few fluctuations & switched out the control unit. I asked the heating & cooling serviceman if I could have the receipt so I could show my bus what the expense was for. I was able to get a receipt & then we were back to having air conditioning in the house.
