I always make sure that my door to my office is closed so that I can stay working at a comfortable temperature
I remember in high school always learning about history. History was my favorite subject and a lot of the things that we learned in my history classes really stuck with me. I loved learning about american culture and how much our country has developed. I can’t believe that almost 100 years ago there were children under the age of 12 working in the manufacturing industry. The children would work under very harsh conditions. I could not imagine being a child and working in an environment where there was never any heat in the wintertime or air conditioning in the summer. Soon that all changed after protests and unions developed because many children were injured and dying. Nowadays wherever you’re employed at there’s always some type of furnace or air conditioning system installed. I don’t think I would have been able to last as a young child working in the manufacturing district with no heat or cooling. I could not handle the extreme temperatures. I have issues now at my current place of employment where I always feel a draft come in if the door of my office is left open. I always make sure that my door to my office is closed so that I can stay working at a comfortable temperature. I normally set my thermostat to 74 degrees and I feel that I can be the most productive at that temperature. I’m lucky that I have my own office, many people that work in my building have cubicles and they’re in a large room and there’s only one thermostat and they can’t even control the temperature in the room that they’re working in!
