Talking about the hotel’s central heating on our first date
After humanity started showing signs of beating the Covid pandemic, we were all excited to go out and interact with other humans.
- I had been home, indoors for an entire year and I was looking forward to being outside and seeing my friends.
I was also excited about meeting new people. In the beginning, we had to wear masks all day but after the vaccine, we could ditch the masks. I had been talking to this guy, a hotel owner, for a couple of weeks now and we were planning our first date. We met at his hotel and when we warmed up to each other, I asked about this nagging rattle noise to which he explained that it was the central heating system. I had been working for the home comfort business for a couple of months as their senior heating technician. As he asked about the boiler and the dial thermostat. I explained that the issue could be dirty furnace filters and he could get replacements from the heating provider who had furnace filters for sale and heaters for sale. We even spoke about my competition which was the heating corp downtown that was known for more about heating. After dessert, we scheduled to get a new HVAC installed at the hotel. In the meantime, he would think about installing a beautiful fireplace, which had always been his mother’s wish. We had a great date, after talking about boiler repairs, we both were looking forward to the next date. The first time I had brought work on a date and been successful. The next date, however, was not at his hotel but he called me very excited when the new unit was installed.
