I had just spent an entire two weeks dedicated to a project at work that saw me put in a combined 154 hours! I was absolutely exhausted.
I was dreaming of Friday evening at the end of this two week stint.
It was not because I had any intention of a night out on the town. I quite simply don’t have that kind of stamina anymore. Instead, I really wanted to go home, take a nice long hot shower, throw together whatever meal I had energy to prepare, and collapse into bed with no alarms and no surprises for the entire weekend. That’s precisely what I did. Unfortunately, though I did manage to get an amazing night’s rest, simply because I completely passed out and practically died for about 10 hours, I awoke to find my home bitterly cold and damp feeling! I had not detected it throughout the night until I awoke, but it turns out that my heating system had not been working since at least a couple hours after I fell asleep. This was the last thing that I wanted to deal with. I was supposed to be able to relax! I checked the thermostat and couldn’t quite figure out why my heat was not kicking on at all. The air filter was freshly installed. There didn’t seem to be any electrical problems. That just about did it for anything that I knew to check for. I resigned myself to calling out an HVAC technician. I was praying that the problem would be resolved quickly. The last thing that I wanted was to be told that the heating system was catastrophically damaged and it would require a whole bunch of money to fix. The HVAC technician would arrive later that afternoon, so I bundled up in as many layers as I could, and did my best to enjoy myself. What would the verdict be for my heating system?
