I have been getting ready for a much needed vacation.
I am a sports reporter for an ailing newspaper in my semi-large city.
I was forced to hang on here for three years before I was eligible for any kind of paid time off hours, even just basic vacation time. When my three years was finally up, I had been planning my first vacation for months. I was flying to Hawaii in the summer season and had plans to travel through several of the islands, visiting resorts along the way. I managed to find a fantastic discount by purchasing everything as a package deal. But unfortunately, I’m worried about leaving my house for so long. Since it’s the summer month, it’s really hot and humid right now. I don’t want my house to get overly humid, so clearly I have to run the air conditioner part of the time. But then if I turn it down too low, the machine will never quit cycling as it desperately attempts to keep the temperature down with immensely hot outdoor weather beating down on the exterior walls. I found out that with a bit of menu scrolling, my digital thermostat can be manually set to run at specific times of the day on a 7-week schedule. Therefore, I can set the air conditioner to run at a lower intensity during the hottest times of the day and then drop it during the hours when the sun dips below the horizon at nightfall.. I feel confident going on vacation knowing that my air conditioner will run as if someone was there to manually turn it on and off the entire time I’m away.
