Being at home for such an extended period was driving me nuts.
It was hard for me to be alone since I was so used to being around my friends and co-workers.
But, being in a lockdown meant no socializing whatsoever, and there were no flights for me to go back home. Remote work wasn’t so bad but it was the extra time spent alone that had me feeling so isolated. My house at that time felt more like a prison and I longed for the pandemic to be over. One day, my reminder went off and I saw it was time for the annual AC maintenance. I wondered if the AC business was still carrying out AC maintenance and which COVID-19 protocols were in place. I found myself feeling happy since I had something to do. I went online to research and see if there was any useful information on the company website. They had extensive information on the COVID-19 protocols in place to keep their employees and customers safe. I also happened to come across the AC business blog and found it quite interesting. I guess I had always been in too much of a hurry before when I went onto the website to book repairs or maintenance. But, since I had the time, I read so many informative blog entries. This was such an eye-opener because I got to learn things about HVAC systems I never knew. For instance, I learned I could easily change my air filter at home without having to call in an HVAC technician. The next day, I ordered some new air filters and managed to change the one in my AC unit.
