After more than three years of running my own small business, my wife Bonnie and I were both exhausted! I had been putting in 60 hour weeks the entire time, and so had Bonnie.
- we were making fantastic money now, it seemed like we kept getting busier! Before we became too worn out as well as depleted, I decided to surprise Bonnie with a vacation to the shore.
This was the middle of the summer, when the air conditioning corporation is at its most hectic, even though I didn’t want to wait any longer. My right-hand guy is Denny, who is a certified air conditioning tech with a poor attitude. I have him paired with Mark, who is excellent with patron service, so he talks to the customers while Denny handles the air conditioning repairs. I also have Bobby, who just gained his air conditioning certifications as well as has over a year of experience. Bonnie normally runs the office for me, booking repair calls and paying invoices for air conditioning equipment! His assistant has been with us for a few weeks, and I guess he can handle running the air conditioning office for a few days while we take a vacation. Throwing caution to the wind, Bonnie and I drove to the shore as well as stayed in an AirBnB for several days. I had to laugh, because as soon as we evaluated it I found that the central cooling system in the new home was on the fritz. I was on vacation for the first time in four, but the first thing I had to do was air conditioning repairs! Life is funny that way.
