For years, I had enjoyed being an HVAC company. There wasn’t a task I went on that I didn’t find something fun about it. Even when I was driving through snowstorms to get to a broken furnace, I was enjoying my task. Three days ago, I almost lost that joy. I was called to go to the home of an older guy & his wifey. Their air conditioner was broken & his wifey had severe asthma. Without the air conditioner, she could not breathe. I walked around to the back of the home so I could get to the air conditioner. There stood an outdated guy trying to get into the AC unit. I introduced myself & told him I was there to service the air conditioner. He told myself and others to get away from him & leave his home. He didn’t call for my help. I heard him mutter a few choice swear words, & he once again told myself and others to go away. He was an HVAC company when he was younger, & he could still find his way around an AC unit. I asked if he wanted myself and others to help & got down on my haunches. After calling myself and others a youngster, he looked myself and others in the eye. He asked if I had any plan what it was love to not have anyone take him seriously about his career? I had to confess I didn’t, however I was still young. By the time the people I was with and I repaired the a/c, I wasn’t having as much fun. I was wondering if this was going to be myself and others in another forty years.
