I feel blessed to have a job, and that is the truth.
I continue to earn a living, and I know that I am truly blessed not to have been laid off.
Not only that, I am blessed to have a job that is inside. Every day, I see lots of people working outside. They are cleaning. They are doing construction. They are repairing rooves. They are painting lines on the street. There are just so many jobs that take place outside, and that is no weakling that can do that kind of work in the southeast. Working outside is not for me! I have to have air conditioning or I would likely faint dead away. I am nowhere near strong enough to struggle through the day without having HVAC to keep me comfortable. In fact, the HVAC in my office is not known to be the best a/c in the world, and I have been known to complain about the a/c in the summer and the heating in the winter. It seems like we can’t manage to get the heating and cooling to blow as hot or as cold as we want. In fact, my boss’s a/c never provides enough cooling, and I keep a sweater over the back of my chair for when the a/c is just too cold. Even so, I know that I am not strong enough to join the people who are busy working in the heat and humidity. I remember when I was young, I used to have a part-time job and I did not have a car, so I had to walk to and from work. Just walking to my job was a challenge, but still, I worked inside where there was air conditioning running and good indoor air quality. I have been blessed indeed.
