I never really fancied that I would be a gym instructor when I was younger.
Still, I appreciate the work, and it’s actually pretty enjoyable.
There are some perks as well. For one, the job helps me stay in shape. Sometimes, classes are outside, and other times they are in the gymnasium. One day, as I was getting ready for my next class, I noticed that the school gym was too hot, which did not bother me as much since sweating is the name of the game in gym class. After the class, however, I checked the thermostat, because it was hotter than ever. I decided that I would manually turn down the temperature, but when I went back to check later, I noticed that it returned to the same warm setting. Not too long ago, we had an a/c rep come to the school and make all the necessary calculations to install modern cooling equipment. The a/c expert had suggested a fancy cooling unit that used the best cooling technology and was more energy efficient. I got to watch him install this unit, so I was able to learn a few things about HVAC. I thought the system was great, so I was surprised by this blatant malfunction. I called the a/c business to send a tech for a/c repair. The business responded promptly, the cooling specialist conducted an a/c tune-up, and everything was working as well as it had before. It turns out we simply needed to schedule biannual maintenance to prevent such issues in the future. He also replaced the a/c filter, which was something that the school should have done close to a month ago. Since I oversaw both activities, I learned more about a/c.
