I’m a kind of strange person, if I’m being honest with you.
Most people will take note of that fact within a few hours of meeting me.
I’m not a complete weirdo and I don’t have any overt eccentricities, but I definitely have my quirks. One of the things that I’m known for is constantly being cold. Even when it’s 80 degrees outside, I will walk into a building and start shivering. I’m always holding onto my arms and rubbing my fingers together trying to thaw them out. Sometimes, this works in my favor on extremely hot and humid days. However, much of the time I am uncomfortably cold and in disagreement with the indoor air temperature settings. This is why, I honestly couldn’t tell if our heater was working the other day or not. I woke up and the house felt pretty chilly, but I didn’t really think anything of it. I’m used to crawling out of bed and immediately freezing. Generally, I throw on several heavy layers of clothing and get a hot cup of coffee in my hand before I am warm enough to continue with the day. This time, however, nothing seems to improve my internal temperature. The house truly felt colder than usual, and I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming things up or the thermostat might be malfunctioning. When I examined the thermostat, it seems to be working just fine. The temperature readout was a bit low, but I couldn’t tell if the furnace was malfunctioning or not. For several hours, I kept investigating the air vents and thermostat, but couldn’t make up my mind about the status of the furnace. When I was finally ready for work and walked outside, the answer was clear. It was much warmer outside than inside. Clearly, the furnace was not running after all.
