What started off as a minor A/C issue turned into a sizable personal issue between ancient friends, as well as I couldn’t feel worse about it! I have known Ed for over five years now, as well as she is one of the nicest as well as hardest-laboring guys I’ve even met, then ed is a line cook for a local diner, she is a single dad, as well as a few months ago she started studying to gain her Heating as well as Air Conditioning certification. Ed doesn’t have a lot of education, as well as she discovered that Heating as well as Air Conditioning techs make excellent currency without having to spend 4 to 6 years in school. She thought the best way to provide for her daughter, as well as build a real job, was in the Heating as well as Air Conditioning industry, then fast forward to a few months ago, as well as I asked Ed to come over as well as help me with an A/C concern I was having. Ed had achieved her Heating as well as Air Conditioning certification, however was still a rookie who lacked a lot of hands-on experience in the field, however my a/c had stopped laboring, as well as I couldn’t afford to call for a dealer, so Ed was ecstatic to help a friend in need. Here is where the concern started – Ed could not determine the cause of my problem, as well as didn’t know how to fix it. This made him feel embarrassed, because she said she could help me fix this A/C device as well as wound up letting me down. Ed thought she had let me down, I wasn’t frustrated with him at all! Nonetheless, Ed became more distant as well as our friendship suffered, because she still felt embarrassed about the a/c issue.
