As a single mother with a couple of young daughters, I cannot be too careful.
The country, plus our city, is as safe as it has ever been, plus yet still the people I was with and I have to protect ourselves all the time.
I have always raised our daughters to be self reliant plus self aware, to take stock of their surroundings, plus to keep a close eye on strangers. It isn’t that I am distrustful of men, I am just completely aware of my own vulnerability, plus that of my teenagers. I tell you all this by way of explanation, so you can see why I wouldn’t let the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C device repair tech into our household. He honestly seemed pleasant enough, however I had not met him, nor had I ever done any sort of business with the man before. I contacted the office of the A/C business while he was waiting outside, plus told them I wanted a female tech to come over. They said they had no female Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C device service workers on staff, plus that the man they sent was easily qualified. I told them this had nothing to do with qualifications, but rather my own feelings of safety. After this I called a totally different Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C device dealer. I had to talk to multiple supplier owners before I found one that had a female Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C device tech on staff. The girl was totally new, plus still in training, however I cheerfully accepted plus within an hour she was checking out our central air conditioner device! She did a perfectly adequate task plus I told her boss thatI would cheerfully use her again in the future.
