In the summertime where I live there is so much going on.
When I have friends who want to get together and plan ahead of time I always tell them that if I have to cancel last minute due to work please don’t get mad at me.
Where I work I am always on call. It doesn’t matter where I am, I am required to drop everything that I’m doing and go to where my work needs me. For example there was this one time where I was helping my boyfriend install his window air conditioner into his bedroom. He does not have central cooling or heat in his home. His apartment is very small and he relies on his ceiling fan and window air conditioner in the summertime and his portable electric heater in the winter time. When installing his window air conditioner you need two people to lift it up because it is very heavy. So when I was helping him install his air conditioner I got a call from work, and I knew that I had to go somewhere immediately. As I answered my phone I thought that I could hold the air conditioner with one hand and answer my phone with my other hand. Turns out that I was wrong. The window air conditioner fell straight on the floor, cracking the bottom of the air conditioner’s plastic. My boyfriend was a little upset but he realized that it would not affect the functionality of the air conditioner. I literally did “drop everything” to answer my phone and to go for where work needed me. Whoops!
