The ups and downs of working for my father

Most people might fantasize about being able to work for their mum or dad and how much are the joy that would be, but I’m here to tell you that it is not all sunshine and Rainbows, no not by a long shot! In fact to be 100 percent honest with you, I think that working for your parents can be even more difficult than working for a stranger! The reason behind this is due to the fact that your parents each no your strengths and weaknesses, and they are instantly able to tell when you aren’t Giving 100% to something that you are working on.

For example, my father owns and runs the best hvac heating and Cooling repair company in town.

I have started to work under him as a hvac repair tech, and it has without a doubt then the most difficult job I have ever done in my career period now only is working on broken down heating and Cooling units a very strenuous and delicate task, but I also have the extra pressure from my father to be nothing less than perfect. Being forced to deal with this high level of expectations combined with the attention to detail, it has been a very difficult few years. With that being said however, I know that working for my father has only made me a better hvac repairman, and working under him will give me a competitive advantage against all of the up-and-coming hvac repair men for years to come. And for that, I am thankful for the opportunity to work for my father!

If ever went up and made a conversation with random guys plus women on the streets plus ask them what the gender of their typical Heating and A/C repairman is, 95% of the time it would be a male, however these type of numbers would technically makes sense, due to the fact that the ratio of guys to women in the Heating and A/C heating plus Cooling industry is skewed as such, plus that is exactly the reason why I am super happy for my sibling for what she is doing, my sibling has just started down the path to open up her very own Heating plus A/C heating plus Cooling repair company, plus she is already having some rising success as a manager, however she has worked from the bottom of the way to the top and over time has received a tremendous amount of respect from her coworkers, which is super motivating! Not only is she the founder of the company, but she is also doing something out of the normal, which is giving a opportunity for more women who are interested to join in the Heating plus A/C repair industry! At the local high university and Community College, she is looking to start paid internships to any females who want have any interest in becoming Heating and A/C repair women a single day. This is amazing because it will provide a opportunity for more women to do what they otherwise wouldn’t even give it a shot, and it will also help balance the power between guys plus women in that industry. I have a feeling that our sibling likes what she does, plus it is so special to see someone you appreciate making a significant change in the workforce.

The outdoor unit with the A/C was at an angle

For a long time my cooling method was not laboring so hot.

Anytime I turned down the temperature on the thermostat, I knew it was wishful thinking.

My A/C method just never seemed to get cool. I could have heating and slightly cool air. Those were my options. I tried cleaning the air filter, cleaning the indoor A/C unit and sticking a vacuum up inside of it. It wasn’t until I was outside the apartment that I deduced the repair. The outdoor unit with my cooling unit was at an angle. For a long time I thought that was no giant deal. After not finding the A/C repair, I started researching about outdoor components. A lopsided outdoor unit is no good. The coolant in the method will all run to a single side of the machine. So when the air is cycled and blown, there is no coolant to genuinely cool down that air due to the angle. It was such a easy fix too. I took some bricks and old pieces of wood to make the unit level again. After it was all squared away, the cooling method worked appreciate a champ. I genuinely have chilly air and the thermostat temperature is matched. The a/c also makes way less noise than it used to and can genuinely turn off since it reaches the temperature I want. My energy costs are lower and I am happier in my home. The only issue was just a slightly skewed outdoor unit. Who would have thought? Glad I did the research and noticed it.

Lack of air conditioning wrecks prom

When I was younger, I didn’t honestly know so hard about how much a faulty HVAC component can honestly ruin your morning… I suppose I took great HVAC for granted.

My parents were always faithful to maintain our HVAC component so that the people I was with and I could rely on it throughout the year. It took until our senior year in school before I had an experience where I had to say to myself afterwards, “Lack of air conditioning ruined everything!” It was prom night. I managed to find a date, which was no small feat for a nerd such as myself. In all seriousness, there was a clear unspoken understanding that this was going to be a platonic experience between great friends, except it turned out to be an undoubtedly bad experience; The school’s air conditioning component crapped out at the absolute worst possible time. The people putting on the prom night were entirely upfront with us about the freak accident. There was simply no time to service the air conditioning before the event, plus they did not want to cancel after all the hard work they put in. Initially, the people I was with and I could like that, then however, as the night drew on, me plus our “date” became more plus more angry; We were both chugging down punch, but couldn’t quite cool off, plus took turns going to the bathroom. Initially, I was nervous about the prospect of dancing, but I soon found I didn’t need to be. There were a few hardy couples on the dance floor giving it their best shot, but our neighbor made it clear there was no way the people I was with and I were even going to attempt it in this heat, and finally, the people I was with and I both decided that if the people I was with and I wanted to like ourselves for a night, that the people I was with and I could do it elsewhere!

Family Dinner with the boss

After clocking out of work a few days ago, I was called into my bosses office because he wanted to talk to me about a few things.

When I sat down he ended up talking to me about how he wanted to promote me to a manager position, but he wanted to have a conversation about it over dinner to go over the details.

I was extremely caught off guard, and I was so excited that I recommended that my wife and I could host dinner that night. When I arrived home and was about to tell my wife the great news however, I could tell that something was wrong. That was when my wife told me that the air conditioning had broken and isn’t responding. I knew that this was bound to happen soon, and I had even scheduled an HVAC checkup for next week but that just wasn’t going to do. I had to host a dinner in a few hours, and I didn’t want my boss to be sweaty and miserable without the air conditioning and get a bad impression of me! I decided to call my buddy from college who is an HVAC tech and have him talk me through how to get my a/c unit running again. After nearly an hour and a half of unscrewing things and many close calls, I had somehow managed to get the cool air flowing with 30 minutes to spare before the big dinner! If I went through all of this trouble to make sure that my boss has a great evening and I still don’t get the job, then at least I know I might have a potential career as an HVAC repairman!

 

 

Cooling tech

The lady HVAC trailblazer

When my daughter was only three years old I already had a strong feeling that she was going to do big things in life.

Even at a young age it was so clear just how motivated, creative, and hard working she was.

As she got older, I began to realize that the path of success she was heading down wasn’t going to be one that most women head down. My daughter was always a major tomboy who was loved to fix things with me and was never scared about getting her hands dirty. In her middle school and even high school days this ended up making her a bit of an outsider to her peers because she was so different than the other girls, but my daughter didn’t care. One day after school she told me that she wanted to be an HVAC repair woman, and that’s what she intended to do after she graduated next year. When she first told me this I was worried more than anything, because I had never even seen a woman HVAC repair tech and I was worried about her being able to find work after training. However as time passed and she became a certified HVAC tech, I came to find out that the business doesn’t care much about what you look like, only if you are skilled and hard working. My daughter is both of these things, and she has been having amazing success in the HVAC industry. It makes me so proud to see her doing something she set her mind to years ago, and I hope this shows other girls that they can do a physical labor job if they want to as well.
