Since I am the oldest of two other siblings in my family you could say that as the oldest I did some things to very test my parents.
As all the people knows when you are the oldest child, your parents can be more strict on you because they have never had any other child to compare other experiences to.
I very anxious my family with a lot of things that I’ve done. When I was in high university I used to jump off our town’s local bridge in the summertime. I would go to parties & underage drink. Luckily my parents didn’t have to bail me out of jail, but there came a point in time where they almost had to. Now that I am in my forties my daring attitude has very toned down. But I did a dumb thing last monththat I can actually add to my list. So my boss has talked to me many times about my actions when it comes to changing the office’s temperature control. I can’t help not to touch the office temperature control because so several people in our office are also changing it. And those people never get caught in touching the temperature control. The other day one of my best buddies who works with me, dared me to change the temperature control in front of my boss. And with the daring attitude that I have, I did. My boss basically let me go because he saw me change the temperature control. According to him he warned me that if I ever pulled a stunt like changing the temperature control again he was going to terminate me. And that’s what he did, he let me go. Personally I want to go to human resources about this issue but I do not want to waste my breath over a stupid HVAC temperature control.
