The entire week my body was feeling off, but I just took some medication and continued going to work at the air conditioning company.
I was feeling faint on Friday afternoon since it was the last call of the day.
The homeowner was vague on the phone, all she said was that she needed a/c service, and then the call disconnected. I went there prepared for a/c repair and a/c care just in case. I felt it was likely a case of air conditioning maintenance and something related to air quality. When I arrived, she told me that the central air conditioner was constantly switching off. She had a high-quality climate control system that was one of the best in the air conditioning business. The air conditioner installation at her house seemed fine, but after a thorough inspection, the thermostat was the problem. It was prompting the system to shut down. I also discovered a leak in one of the ducts, so I went up the ladder to seal it. As I was going up the ladder, I started feeling dizzy. The last thing I remember was the lady on the call saying that there was an a/c worker who had fallen off the ladder and was not waking up, and then everything went black again. I woke up two hours later in a hospital. In all those years as an a/c representative, this was a first. The doctor said I had the flu and was dehydrated, but nothing too serious. Still, I had to rest, which meant reassigning some work with the air conditioning supplier. Someone else would have to oversee the delivery and installation of a new air conditioning system and a follow-up on an a/c care plan on Monday.
