Full time HVAC job

That is the life of my friend, who has a house worth two and a half million bucks, and a ton of stuff going on in his life.

I wonder why some people fill their lives with so much business, while others like me keep it very simple and easy.

I don’t know if they are trying to fill a void or if they are doing what I should be doing, but I just don’t have the energy anymore to do all of that busy work. I have just enough energy to work at the local business doing smart thermostat sales and some heat pump work, but that is about the extent of my workweek. Maybe I should have had kids and then I would know what it is all about. Maybe I am missing out on something that is really special, but I am 55 now and too old for kids. My heating corp boss has a few kids and always seems to be stressed out about them in one way or another. I guess it depends on what kind of a kid you have, or how you have raised them, but I guess I will never know what having kids feels like. This could be good or bad news. My kids are my ductwork cleaning jobs and the HVAC repairs that I have to do each week. My other kid is my musical career and my volleyball teaching work I do each week, those are the kids that keep me busy. I do like to work in the heating and cooling field though.

He refused to follow the rules.

They wore their swimming trunks and a tank top.

My son was never one to follow the rules. We set the rules for him, and he always finds a way to break them. If it were a rule that was of importance, he was pretty quick to apologize, but if it was a rule just to keep him in line, he laughed as he broke it. He never did anything we were ashamed of, but he made us shake our heads. He said it was fun watching us try to figure him out. We knew he would outgrow it one day, but that day wasn’t coming soon enough. When he got into his senior year, he told us he was trying to figure out what he wanted to do after graduation. He wanted to go to HVAC technical school, and do something that would help people. We saw a glimmer of the man he was becoming, but we were sure his hijinx wasn’t finished yet. During his high school graduation, he and three of his friends refused to wear a suit under their gowns. They wore their swimming trunks and a tank top. When they got their diploma, they stripped off their gowns and ran across the stage like they were on the beach. Everyone laughed, but the group of boys who made everyone laugh, were already signed up for college, the military, or going to HVAC school with my son. I knew I wasn’t the only proud parent in the auditorium. I saw several of mom’s with tears in their eyes and declaring that was their son, and I was one of them.

She was questioning me about the HVAC technician.

My daughter had just turned fourteen, and she was going through a tough time in her life.

She was realizing how hard growing up was.

She wanted to be a little girl, but she also wanted to be a grown up. She was in that middle of the road stage. When the HVAC technician arrived to work on the furnace, I saw the budding woman rear its ugly head. She couldn’t believe how cute the HVAC technician was. She was asking me how old I thought he was. I told her you had to be eighteen to go to HVAC school, so he was at least twenty. That made him much too old for her. She told me that she would age quickly, and she would soon be old enough to date older men. I had to agree, but the HVAC technician was six years older than her. She fancied herself falling in love and being the wife of an HVAC technician. Then she said that maybe she should be an HVAC technician when she got old enough. If she worked in an HVAC company, she would have her picked of all the single HVAC technicians. I told her she could possibly find an HVAC technician while in school, and he would be close to her age. She grimaced and told me I was thinking too far ahead, and headed to her room to call her best friend. I had a feeling the HVAC technician was only the beginning of her many crushes over the years. I only hope they all end as easily and quickly as this one.

It was time to cut my losses.

I had all kinds of plans for after I graduated from high school. I wanted to become an HVAC technician before I got too old. I also wanted to take a year off and enjoy being a kid, for just a little bit longer. Then the unthinkable happened. My dad had a heart attack and could no longer work. I had to be the man of the family and take on some responsibility. Mom and I talked about my going to HVAC class, and she told me I could still go. I just had to put it off until dad was on the mend. I was afraid that if I didn’t go to HVAC class now, it would never happen. I went to the school and asked if there were alternative classes I could take part time. I thought that if I could go to school half a day, I would have plenty of time to take over some household chores, and still get a part time job. I didn’t realize the instructor was standing behind me. When I walked away from the admissions desk, he asked me to walk with him. I told him about my dad and how I had to help out at home. I wanted to go to HVAC school, but I also had to get a job. He offered me a job in his HVAC company, and said he would help me with my lessons when I wasn’t busy. I couldn’t wait to go home and tell mom and dad about my job offer. Usually it was mom who cried, but dad cried this time. He told me he was proud to call me his son, who had
