I’m a workaholic and my smart thermostat didn’t help

Occasionally I wonder where I would be without my partner, to be fair, I wasn’t on the most promising track when we met.

My life has actually gotten off course after multiple rounds of bad luck and failing mental health, and when we got together he was a massively grounding force in my life.

Suddenly, I wasn’t all alone in this complete clusterfuck of a world, I had a partner who regularly had our back and tried to provide me everything I needed. To this day, I believe that he is responsible for my professional career and success in life. For instance, the other day when he took away the smart temperature control and substituted it with an old-university dial temperature control unit. He was saving my brain. You see, I am a severely sensitive human when it comes to indoor air temperature and air quality. I require a particular set of indoor air temperature conditions in order to work effectively. Unfortunately, I am almost regularly working so I am almost regularly anxious about the indoor air quality. Thanks to our smart temperature control, I could legitimately adjust the indoor air temperature control right from my desk. I could open our iphone, modify the air temperature control settings, and hear the cooling system proposal or forced air furnace immediately respond to our every demand. It was great! Except, this smart temperature control convenience enabled me to carry out another bad habit. Workaholism. If you never have to get up to modify the temperature control settings, you never have to stop actually working. My partner realized that our heating and A/C breaks were the only thing keeping me from going off the workaholic deep-end… so he took away the smart temperature control last week, bless him.
