Old business struggles to keep up with competition – free AC

My buddy has lost over half of his respected heating plus cooling customers, plus he doesn’t know what to do

It absolutely is a shame to watch someone struggle plus feel powerless to help their situation. I don’t know if there’s anything more heart wrenching on earth than seeing another person suffer without any useful suggestions for resolution. It makes you feel small plus useless, like you don’t matter at all. That is exactly how I’ve been feeling for about six months now, enjoying my neighbor plus designated Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C expert struggling to keep his heating plus cooling business above ground. You see, since moving into town over 15 years ago, I struck up a fast friendship with our closest neighbor the first time that our AC equipment failed. I called the local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C dealership, plus when the ventilation expert arrived, I was surprised to be introduced as his neighbor. He patched up our cooling system in a jif, plus left without accepting any payment. Since that day, I have been his loyal client plus closest confidante in town. He tells me everything, including his perilous business kneeling as he tries to compete with the newest Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C shop in town. See, these young guys rolled into our quiet town about a year ago, plus started trying to shake up the ventilation industry. They began offering ridiculous deals on new heating plus cooling equipment, reduced Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C maintenance plans, plus free component replacements in order to drum up business. Well, it began working. My buddy has lost over half of his respected heating plus cooling customers, plus he doesn’t know what to do. Short of giving away free supplies plus services to receive back customers, he’s feeling doomed to go bankrupt. That’s why I undoubtedly can’t tell him about my brand new dehumidifying system plus maintenance plan, with free replacement.

Nagging partner like mother

You know what is definitively un-sexy? Feeling like your significant other’s parent; Ugh.

Instead of feeling like an equal partner with a mutual understanding of how adult life works, I often feel like I run the show around here for both of us.

Rather than putting on lacy underwear to thrill him, I’m picking his piles of dirty boxers up off the powder room floor. Instead of having candlelit dinners, I’m scraping the burnt messes that he leaves behind off our cookware. Rather than reminding him of our fun couples activity later than evening, I’m chasing him out the door to hand him office keys and his money clip. It’s too much. Don’t even get me started on home chores, because he only has one, and he doesn’t do it. That single chore is to take care of the Heating and Air Conditioning system for our home. All he’s supposed to do is to change the air filter every two months and schedule two routine Heating and Air Conditioning inspections from a professional ventilation expert each year. I also asked that he would keep an eye on the daily energy expenditure, and assist me with programming the smart control equipment to optimize our energy usage. Now, instead of being less busy out because he’s lending a helping hand with the temperature control plan, I’m more frustrated than ever about nagging him to get it done. Every day I send him a email about the completely jammed air filter in the AC. Once a week I ask if the Heating and Air Conditioning dealership is coming to clean our air ducts. Once a month, I put the energy bill on his desk with my notes about our utility bills and control equipment program. I feel like an overbearing mother, although I can’t stop! I mean, basic heating and cooling repair absolutely doesn’t sound like rocket calculus to me.

Lazy family is killing me

When they finally examined the temperature control panel, they figured out that the A/C unit was offline

I’m at my breaking point, and I’m starting to freak myself out these afternoons. Everything is so overwhelming that I can’t even breath. I have trouble seeing straight or making simple decisions on a bi-weekly basis. I’m tired, and I’m always prepared to break down and cry at a moment’s notice. Yes, I am talking about stress. I feel so out of control of my whole life these afternoons, I don’t know how much more I can take. It’s not really tolerable how various things I have on my plate, especially when I have a family that theoretically could help me to accomplish some of my household tasks. For instance, maybe someone could bring their dishes to the sink on a common basis, let alone clean a glass. Perhaps another celebration could feed or walk the pet. It might be possible for somebody to scrub out the fridge once in a while, but or, you know, maybe they could just try to make a cellphone call for themselves when the freaking Heating & Air Conditioning system breaks down. Apparently, they would rather realize that the cabin is feeling overheated and stuffy, and do nothing about it for hours! Sweating their butts off, no one even bothered to touch the control unit for 5 hours, and not until they realized Dad wasn’t cabin to make temperature adjustments. When they finally examined the temperature control panel, they figured out that the A/C unit was offline. One might guess that they would contact a cooling specialist at that time, or maybe they would call up one of their parents for Heating & Air Conditioning advice… however blatantly they prefer to sit outside for fresh, relatively cooler air all afternoon long, waiting for help to arrive from a 12 hour shift before even mentioning the burning sizzling air waiting inside our home.

Anyone else creeped out by hotels?

Until recently, I really loved staying in hotels.

I guess that they were deeply tied to family trips and excitement from my early childhood afternoons, and that feeling carried over into adulthood.

I used to be giddy at the thought of packing my stuff, checking in, and seeing someone else’s TV all night. These afternoons, I am not excited at all about hotel living. You see, at a particular age, you beginning to realize just how freaking gross hotels really are. My associate and I already know that the room will light up like a christmas tree if you shine a black light, however what almost everyone don’t know to watch out for is the in-suite Heating & Air Conditioning system. I recently study an article in Nature about the bacterial and viral cultures that were collected from substantial hotel chains. I tried not to gag as I study that the worst of the contaminations were collected from the indoor temperature control systems. Apparently, compared to the door handles, carpet, TV remote, and toilet seat, the air filters and air vents of the tiny temperature control systems had the largest prevalence of harmful microbial cultures! It seems that most hotels do not respectfully repair the unit Heating & Air Conditioning systems. Bacteria are caught up in the air handling system, and then evenly dispersed through the air as it is pushed through the front vent. Apparently, your entire room could be contaminated with billions of foreign airborne pollutants and little critters, then every surface would be coated with invisible invaders, and air intake system only works to redistribute the contamination in an endless cycle. Looking up from the article, I eyeballed the suite heating and cooling system suspiciously before party all of my belongings and checking out a week early.

Spiteful power switch

Occasionally I wonder about people, then namely, I wonder if my teenager is out of his damn mind, because he sure doesn’t know how to act appropriately.

It’s as if he has no concept of consequences, plus just assumes he can go through the world acting like an ass if he so chooses.

Well, that’s not how it works out on planet Earth, plus it legitimately isn’t how things are going to be run in my own household, I can tell you that. This little snot decided that he was immune to helping out with condo chores last week, for example. When I lectured him on condo responsibilities he ran off plus locked his door. I let him sulk plus figured I would deal with his terrible attitude the next afternoon. When I woke up the next afternoon, but, I found that the condo was terrifyingly cold, but rather than worrying about my son, I had to deal with the thermostat. I went down the hallway plus evaluated the temperature control device, expecting that the ambient temperature had been changed on accident. Instead, I found that the smart thermostat machine couldn’t link to the central heating device. The touch screen monitor indicated that there was a power outage on the end of the heater, plus I was completely puzzled over the heating device. I figured that before calling a ventilation professional I would go inspect the power source myself plus situated the power box out in the garage. I was surprised to find the boiler switch was flipped off… How could only the boiler be affected by a power outage? That’s when I realized my child was already out of the condo plus put two plus two together. That little shit, obviously he was still so warm headed in the afternoon that he attempted to freeze me out.
