As an employee, there’s nothing more frustrating than when you can’t finish a job because of other humans getting in the way.
I don’t know how many times I’ve been infuriated by my coworkers giving me bad information or late information that required me to redo all of my work.
I couldn’t tell you the number of days that working retail completely destroyed my plans for the afternoon. And, honestly, I can’t even begin to recall the number of inappropriate clients that I’ve had in my most recent position who have completely curtailed the professional service appointment or made it extremely difficult to repair their HVAC appliances. You see, I am a professional heating, cooling, and ventilation repair servicemen for a highly renowned air quality control dealership in my little town. That means, I spend my days driving from house to house and helping owners to repair their failing air handling control devices. Sometimes, I’m performing routine maintenance for air temperature control appliances, and sometimes it’s a total emergency situation that requires a lot of focus and dedication. However, it seems like my clients don’t care about any of these facts. When I arrive at their homes, my priority is servicing the HVAC plan. Unfortunately, a lot of people make it very difficult by acting a fool when I arrive. Between the owners who open the door naked, the ones who hover over my shoulder the whole time I inspect their heating system, and the idiots who want to give me HVAC advice as I work on the repair service… I’ve had a lot of long and drawn out appointments in my day. I wish they’d just let me do my job.
