Always be prepared in case you get lost

Working as an independent heat and cooling system worker is occasionally quite the headache, and especially when you get called for a heating and air conditioner repair work and the person you are working for gives you the wrong directions to their place! This happened to me the other week. I had a purchaser call to have their central heating and cooling system repaired and they ended up giving me guidelines with a wrong turn off on the road. I ended up getting lost and spending 2 hours to get anywhere that should have taken me no more than 30 minutes to drive to. I was blessed that we were in the era of the cell phone. If this had been back in the day it could have been way worse than it was. I called the purchaser and had them give me the usual guidelines. Because of this mishap on their space I ended up charging them an extra 50 dollars for getting me lost and the extra travel time. They totally understood and did not argue with me on it, when I finally arrived the repair of their central heating and cooling system was thankfully an easy one! So I was able to get in and out of there in about 40 minutes. Things like this happen occasionally, and when they do you constantly need to be prepared, but always have a cell phone with you and never be afraid to charge more if they get you lost. After all, that is not your fault but the fault of the customer causing you the extra gas and road time.
