Sometimes, I catch myself in scenarios where I just don’t think all that straight.
And it’s normally in a situation where there is some high stress going on. That’s exactly how I ended up making a small HVAC repair into a big HVAC repair. I think had I not been so amped up, I might have acted more sanely. The day had been just the worst. I work a very high pressure job inside the zone controlled comfort of a nice office. But there are days where I’d trade that great commercial HVAC and all the amenities for a job with less stress. That particular day was one that just seemed endless. By the time I was done, all I wanted to do was go lay down inside the central air conditioning of my home. So when I walked into a house that was super hot, I sort of lost it. That’s not to say that I started kicking and screaming. That’s not the sort of guy I am. But I lost it because I somehow thought I could fix the HVAC equipment. I had zero HVAC repair experience but still thought myself capable of fixing the air conditioning. That idea was the worst as I simply ended up creating many more problems than I helped. Finally, I came to my senses and called for the HVAC professionals. Had I done that in the first place, it would have been a negligible cost to me. But because of my ill fated attempts at fixing the air conditioning, it cost me a bunch of money.
