When my boss told me that I had to attend a mandatory work retreat I was not particularly excited.
- I do not want to spend extra time with my co-workers outside of 40 hours each week that I already see them.
I absolutely would have number one to spend my weekends doing basically anything else. For instance, my fiance and I are currently trying to renovate our master bathroom which requires a lot of decision-making and planning. I never would have thought that this work retreat would somehow benefit my household renovation project, but I was wildly surprised by the outcome of the mandatory trip. When my associate and I arrived in the rental house, I immediately went to a private study room to stake my territory. I was shocked as I sauntered into a bathroom and found that it had the most amazing indoor air quality control you could ever imagine. Not only did this bathroom have a high-powered overhead ventilation system that could absolutely disconnect all of the unpleasant indoor air from the space after a human shower or odorous trip to the toilet. However, the bathroom was also outfitted with radiant heated flooring. When your toes touched the blissfully moderate floors, it felt like walking on Heaven. I have never experienced this form of indoor heating before, but the radiant heated flooring absolutely started to make me think. Maybe my fiance and I should spend less money on our bathroom tiling and more money on indoor air quality control. A powerful ventilation fan would be a real benefit. And, apparently, radiant heated flooring would be a life changing heating replacement.
