I have an admission to make, I am a huge baby when it comes to indoor temperature control.
I wish that it wasn’t the case, and I feel like a real drama queen when the issue arises.
However, the fact is that I am extremely sensitive to my surrounding air temperature. My body doesn’t seem like it’s capable of sustaining appropriate internal temperatures itself, so I’m at the mercy of my surroundings 24/7. Generally, I have a very high heat tolerance and a very low cold tolerance. That’s why, I’m unhappy to tell you that right now I have no working heat. When I got home from work today, I was not in the mood for any Shenanigans. I just wanted to settle down, research some graduate schools, and enjoy my evening. When I walked in the house, I was unhappy to find that the air felt similar in temperature to the brisk, cool air outside. At first, I thought maybe I was being dramatic, so I walked over to the thermostat and examine to the current furnace settings. Unfortunately for me, I found the thermostat was set appropriately to 72°. However, the actual temperature monitor read only 62 degrees. I went to the air vent and held my hand in front of the flowing indoor air. To my disgust, it felt cold to the touch. Then, I tried to adjust the thermostat up higher, but of course nothing happened. it’s pretty clear that my heater isn’t working and it’s simply cycling cold air throughout the house in a feeble attempt to reach the thermostat settings. Unfortunately, it’s a long holiday weekend and there’s no way I’m going to be able to fix this furnace. I guess I’ll be bundling up for a few days.
