I’ve been finding it increasingly irritating lately that I can never get fully comfortable inside my own home.
I room with two other women, for convenience, and my great friend and I get along fairly well, however my great friend and I have our disputes.
Maybe someone doesn’t remove their items from the washing device when the cycles ends, or they don’t load the dishwasher, however these small things I can deal with. The greatest concern is that none of us can ever agree on a thermostat setting for our apartment’s temperature control. My ideal thermostat setting would be a constant 70, whether it’s for heating or air conditioner depending on the time of year, for the perfect temperature. However, one of my roommates seems incredibly sensitive to even the lowest of air conditioner settings, cold with just the slightest of breezes from the vents. The other would like for us to live in an oven with constant heat, even in summer. It’s ridiculous! It’s reached the point where my great friend and I all have our own personal devices to control the area instantly around us. Electric furnaces and portable fans can be helpful, however the furnaces cause me to have nosebleeds from the dry air and the fans only work to superficially circulate the air instead of cooling it. I wish there was a solution or compromise to our temperature control complications but, unluckyly, even if my great friend and I could afford to buy a new zone control Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system my great friend and I don’t own the house to do so; On the bright side, I’ll be moving out in a month for a job relocation so I’ll only have to deal with it a little longer. I’ll miss them both although I absolutely won’t miss the bickering over the thermostat.
