Sometimes I wonder if the world is playing tricks on me.
I feel like I have more complications in my life than your average bear.
Very simple things wind up being very complicated for me and I’m not sure why I have such terrible karma. Sometimes I honestly believe that it would be best if I just gave up trying and let life take me wherever it was going to. This is especially true when I go out of my way to try to upgrade my life… And to get a lot of downgrades in return. This is what happened last week when my heating, cooling, and air quality control system managed to completely ruin my indoor air temperature by taking creative liberties with my temperature control settings. You see, I had recently decided that it was time to upgrade my thermostat after many years of operating a buggy air temperature control device. The programmable thermostat never really managed my indoor air quality to my standards. I regularly had to reprogram the temperature control settings and it was difficult to utilize the thermostat in the first place. Getting a smart thermostat, I thought, would be an excellent way to improve my indoor air temperature control and decrease my energy bills. Instead, I wound up with a faulty smart thermostat. I realized this last week when my indoor air temperature plummeted to freezing temperatures. Checking the thermostat, I realized that the stupid device had apparently decided it was ready to run a summer temperature control program. All of the settings were changed on the thermostat, without my knowledge. No wonder the air conditioner was running.
