My job is pretty intense and I spend a ton of hours at the office.
My wife is the same way and this is probably why we opted for pets instead of children.
Neither of us are home all that much. Thankfully, my office is equipped with great, quality heating and air so it’s a really comfortable place to be. And our home also has great HVAC equipment that produces very comfortable heating and cooling. Since we don’t spend all that much time at home, our limited time off is not spent doing household projects. We’re lucky to have a handyman who takes care of projects around the house for us. We trust him implicitly and he even has a key to our home. Normally, there is nothing he won’t tackle and then do a great job. But when I asked him to have a look at the air conditioning, he flat out refused. It was the first no I heard out of the man since we met him. Our guy explained just how essential it is to have an HVAC professional look at the air conditioning. While he understands the basics of HVAC, he was far from a certified HVAC professional. Given my absolutely highest regard for our handyman, I did exactly as he advised. I called the HVAC company and they were able to diagnose and fix the air conditioning in one visit. I told the HVAC technician what our handyman had said. The HVAC professional nodded his agreement and told me to hang on to that handyman because he was an honest, good person.
