An unlikely HVAC contractor
An old Chevy so ancient that I was impressed it was still running with not less than three dents that I could see from a distance.
The driver drove as he searched for a place to park and found one next to my car.
I cringed as she barely missed my bumper and pulled into the space crookedly. Whoever that woman was, she needed to stay far from my car or off the road entirely. I glanced at my watch again; the HVAC contractor was ten minutes late. Ten more minutes, and then I would call the HVAC business and give them an earful. I was holding an investors meeting, and everything was going smoothly, especially not the cooling system in the dead of summer. I was unsure if the manager was telling the truth when he called the cooling corporation to schedule quality AC service since nobody dared to be late if I asked for their services. My PA came in to tell me that the cooling specialist was working on the electric heat pump. I told her to ensure the cooling technician changed the air conditioning filter. I could now relax since the cooling equipment was the only thing pending. Someone would have lost their job if the investors had arrived only to find that our climate control unit needed to be fixed. How could they trust us with their money if we could not handle our cooling technology? Half an hour later, the incompetent driver walked into my office to tell me she had taken care of the device and help with indoor comfort was restored. I just stared, which she took as a cue to explain what was wrong with the HVAC installation. The local service provider took my shock as a green light to tell me more about air conditioning.
