A Miracle

The room where I often work is in an area of the building that is often warm, because some whiny, perimenopausal women want it that way. It is too warm for my liking. I had a lot of trouble with this last year. I didn't know at the time that I had MS, and that my MS does not like heat.

My room has an AC/heat unit on the wall, as many rooms do. Maybe they worked for individual temperature control many years ago, when the place was built, but it is a well-known fact that they do not work now. I had tried messing with mine last year with no luck.

Today I walked in and was hit with a wave of heat upon entering that area. Talk about frustrating. How can I work in that environment?

I went straight to the wall unit to make sure cool air was coming out, that the building had not yet been switched over to heat. Cool air was weakly streaming from it.

I opened the control box. There was a knob. Off, high, medium, low. I tried to turn it. It didn't budge. I tried harder... and it bonked one notch to the left.

The airflow increased! And it was cool air!

I tested turning the knob one more notch to the left. The airflow increased yet again. Now it was set to high, and it felt that way.

When I left the room to make my lunch and came back, it was nice and cool in there. The rest of the area was like a sauna, but I had an oasis.

Yes, a miracle.
