I’m sure it goes without saying that being sick when you have to work is the absolute worst.
- It unquestionably does not matter what kind of task you have, because there is not a single task that feels superb when you are under the weather.
Whenever I’m sick, the only thing that I want is to kneel down in my bed and wait for the world to feel better. I never want to stare at a computer, talk to purchasers on the PC, or worry about attending meetings all day long! Luckily, I do not normally have to do any of those tasks at my task… But I can’t say that performing residential HVAC service tasks is fun when you’re feeling ill, either. In fact, some of my worst days as an air quality control specialist have been caused by an aggravated stomach or a persistent respiratory problem complicating my service appointment. The air quality control industry actually is not a line of work that allows you to take a break. It’s uncomfortable when you are in someone’s basement, desperately trying to figure out what has wrong with their heater and all you want to do is sleep. It’s miserable when you arrive at a “simple diagnostic appointment” and wind up servicing their entire broken HVAC system with a blaring migraine. It’s even worse when you’re repairing busted ductwork in an attic and continually fighting the urge to vomit all over their insulation. I can’t tell you how various broken ventilation fans I’ve worked on from the toilet, despite the fact that I can assure you that I’m highly committed to my task as an HVAC business. I just wish I didn’t get sick so often.
