I thought it would be simple to jump up and press the button on the thermostat every so often, but I never expected that this air quality assistantship would get so overwhelming.
Several years ago when I was looking for a new position I never thought that I would wind up being a personal assistant. I wouldn’t say that I am an extremely extroverted or people-pleasing kind of human, for starters. I also don’t take a lot of direction very well. I can get very defensive when someone is being critical or asking too much of me. That’s why, it has been shocking to get along well with my boss as an executive assistant. I think the biggest challenge that I have with her is dealing with her high standards for indoor air quality. Whenever we started working together I realized that my boss was rather preoccupied with the thermostat. Every few minutes it seemed like she was standing up and investigating the air temperature control device on the wall. I thought it was rather disruptive for her to be so concerned with the indoor air quality. As such, I offered to take over her air temperature changes throughout the day. I thought it would be simple to jump up and press the button on the thermostat every so often, but I never expected that this air quality assistantship would get so overwhelming. Soon, I was also responsible for maintaining the entire heating and cooling system. She was having me call the local heating and cooling repair shop nearly every week with some but I definitely get a workout from all the trips back and forth to the thermostat.about air quality control. She always wanted to know how we could improve our indoor air quality, decrease our energy bills, or install new HVAC equipment for the business. To this day, we have not made a single heating and cooling upgrade but at least I get a work out from all the trips back and forth to the thermostat.
