Sometimes people tell me that I’m a bit too intense.
I can’t disagree with them, because I feel like I’m too intense.
It’s difficult for me to be extremely light hearted or laxadonical about anything. I tend to take life quite seriously and I do a lot of work to keep myself on the right track. As such, there is a lot of daily management and concern that goes into my life. For instance, for the past several months I’ve been extremely worried about my air conditioning system. I feel like I’ve oriented my entire life around protecting my delicate AC unit. The issue all started a few months ago when my old central cooling system broke down. I had to call out a professional heating and cooling technician to take a look at the busted AC unit because the outdoor air temperature was sweltering. When the HVAC technician arrived he unfortunately told me that the central cooling system was busted. He recommended that I purchase a more energy efficient and more high-tech air conditioning unit. I really didn’t want to shell out a lot of money for this AC purchase, but he signed me up for a routine maintenance service contract and promised that the AC unit would last longer with professional care. Because the cooling system purchase and installation had been so expensive, I suddenly got very serious about maintaining my AC as much as possible. I cut down every tree that could potentially damage my beautiful cooling system. I purchased a wrought iron AC cage to keep it safe from thieves. I even installed a security system around the house so I could watch out for cooling system vandalists… And I can sneakily monitor the HVAC technician when he’s performing my routine diagnostic appointments.
