What started off as a minor AC issue turned into a big personal issue between old friends, as well as I couldn’t feel worse about it! I have known Ed for over five years now, as well as he is one of the nicest as well as hardest-working guys I’ve even met, ed is a line cook for a local restaurant, he is a single Mom, as well as a few months ago he started studying to gain his Heating plus A/C certification.
- Ed doesn’t have a lot of education, as well as he discovered that Heating plus A/C techs make excellent money without having to spend 4 to 6 years in school.
He thought the best way to provide for his daughter, as well as build a real career, was in the Heating plus A/C 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 AC problem I was having. Ed had achieved his Heating plus A/C certification, but was still a rookie who lacked a lot of hands-on experience in the field; My air conditioning had stopped working, as well as I couldn’t afford to call for a dealer, so Ed was glad to help a buddy in need. Here is where the problem 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 he said he could help me fix this AC component as well as wound up letting me down. Ed thought he had let me down, I wasn’t infuriated with him at all! Nonetheless, Ed became more distant as well as our friendship suffered, because he still felt embarrassed about the air conditioning issue.
