For a few years now I’ve been doing this remote job for extra money.
It’s a pretty good gig, considering how predictable and straightforward it is.
When you already have several jobs on your plate, the last thing you need is more variables to complicate your life. I love that I can just sit down and do my work, and know what I’m going to be compensated for. The one thing I don’t love, is being isolated when I’m working all the time. It’s pretty difficult to just be alone all day long staring at a computer. That’s why I’ve been looking for some remote work spaces. I think it would be helpful just to be around other humans sometimes. However, there is one thing that really complicates working with other humans. That’s their air temperature preferences. I happen to have a pretty small window of comfort. I like my indoor air to be between the temperatures of 70 and 74 degrees at all times. Something about air any warmer or colder than that we’ll just handicapped my brain. I’m also not a fan of having air blowing on me. I do not like to feel the ventilation in action. I’m not a fan of overhead ceiling fans. And I do not like to sit underneath air vents. With all of these things in mind I’ve been a pretty cautious about signing up for one of these group work spaces. I’m afraid that they’re going to have ridiculous thermostat settings and I’ll just freeze all day long. If I’m spending money to be in a different space and increase my productivity, I want to make sure that I’m comfortable enough to actually make those changes. A lot of that comes down to the indoor air quality.
