The first four years up here were not exactly what Steve would call being in his element.
- Work wasn’t easy as there was an important learning curve to his new position.
Steve doesn’t think he socialized but at holidays when friends or family would come to visit. And even then, it was right back to the zone controlled Heating and A/C of the office that he was not accountable for. This was a sizable step in his work. While Steve was sure that he was up to it. Those first years would test him and his resolve more than ever before. However, he would never have applied for the position if he didn’t think he could do it. The fact is, he’d been working more than 18 years for the same corporation and looking for this sort of challenge. It’s just that this opportunity was more than he expected. Actually, when Steve got here, this regional office was a total dumpster fire. The previous 2 supervisors had been let go because they couldn’t save the place. And when he got here, this locale was hemorrhaging money and the morale was even worse. Throw in the fact that Steve had never lived and worked above the Mason Dixon line and it was a massive change. The small condo he purchased came with a heating system that he inherited. Actually, this was a quick sale because he agreed to take the property as is for the right price. That worked out for him financially and shelter wise, but it was far from comfortable just like being in the office. Steve replaced all of the residential Heating and A/C and now has a heat pump that comes with a new heating system. This winter time was the loveliest ever inside his home.
