I understand why I was so hesitant to finally ditch the paycheck and go freelance, at least that was entirely the plan.
- I spent five 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 Heating and Air Conditioning 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 big business, but I didn’t have the cash or the experience to go out on my own from the beginning. 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 Heating and Air Conditioning. I was easily rising through the ranks of that corporation, and indeed I enjoyed getting those paychecks every four weeks. I spent plenty of time inside the zone controlled Heating and Air Conditioning of the office, but I made a good 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 a/c of my cabin absolutely did change my whole perspective when it came to my task. In 2022, I decided to go out on my own and keep working from my house but in a freelance capacity. It’s entirely startling in some senses but it’s also working out absolutely great, and I have a ductless heat pump inside my cabin office that rivals the zone controlled Heating and Air Conditioning of my outdated cubicle.
