They sent a new HVAC technician to her house last week.
We had never met the young man, but he seemed nice enough when we let him in the house.
He showed us his HVAC ID badge and asked where the furnace was. My husband showed him to the furnace room and sat down to chat with him while he got his tools out. When my husband came upstairs a short while later, he said the young man seemed to be slow but he seemed to be efficient and proficient in his job. He had spoken to the HVAC technician for about five minutes and found out that he had a car accident a year earlier and had some brain damage. The only noticeable after effect of the brain damage was that he was a little slower in his speech and movement. He had the perfect eye and hand coordination, but his movements appeared slow and a little jerky. He said that many HVAC customers preferred for him not to come to the house because of his slow speech movements. My husband said that as long as he did a good job, he didn’t care how slow he was. After the HVAC technician finished working on our furnace, we paid the bill and thanked him for his help. My husband said he had never seen an HVAC technician clean up after himself as well as this new HVAC technician had. He was slow, but he was also efficient and cleaned up his own mess. They are good qualities for everyone to have in their arsenal..
