We had a bad little gas heater
It has been such a beautiful time having Dave as my apprentice.
My boss typically prefers to hire boys fresh from Heating and Air Conditioning college.
They join our apprenticeship and we get to train them about the task . It’s one thing to train in college about heating and cooling systems. The trainers and instructors even do their best to show students the practicalities of working with Heating and Air Conditioning systems. However, the real world is so much more different. As more experienced Heating and Air Conditioning experts, we get to teach the apprentices more about the task. My good buddy and I take them to the purchasers’ homes, show them the right interactions to have, and how to inspect the weird heating and cooling systems. It’s been so good having Dave under my wing. Ever since he was assigned to me a few months ago, we’ve had the best time. I’m more of a seasoned old timer, and Dave is a gen-z, so we typically find each other laughing. There are stories I share and he says the old afternoons were weird. That typically makes me feel like I’m 102 years old. However, he is a kind kid and typically eager to learn. So, I share all the experience and wisdom with him hoping he has a lasting Heating and Air Conditioning career. Last week, we were on our way to repair a faulty gas heating system when I told Dave we only had one more week to work together. Then he’d get his own Heating and Air Conditioning van and be off to meet purchasers on his own. He had a mixture of emotions about this news, but I knew he was ready to hit the ground running as a heating and cooling expert.
