You never know what your heart is going to want.
- And that’s something that I have had to come to terms with in my own life as I have tried to understand the poor choices I have made in men.
When I look back at my dating history all I can do is shake my head. Sometimes I laugh, and sometimes I cry. All in all, I have made a lot of very bad decisions when it comes to my emotional life and romantic feelings. Why would it be any different when I was in the middle of changing careers? A few years ago I decided that I was going to become the first lady heating, cooling, and ventilation technician at my family’s HVAC repair shop. It wasn’t a big deal to attend the local trade school and get my certification as a heating, cooling, and air quality control specialist in about 2 years. After that I was guaranteed a position at the family HVAC repair shop. If I ever wanted to move it would be easy to get a new heating and cooling technician job anywhere in the country because my skills were applicable to air conditioning units or forced air furnaces. However, when I got into the program I never could have expected that I would fall head over heels in the middle of an air conditioning system repair. My professor turned out to be an extremely wise and knowledgeable human when it came to indoor air handling devices. Before I knew what was happening, I had developed a massive crush on my HVAC repair professor. It wasn’t long before I had flunked my HVAC repair course because I was too distracted by my emotions for the heating and cooling instructor. The HVAC failure was embarrassing enough… but the weirdest part is, he reminds me of my dad.
