Ego sure can get in the way of residing my life.
And what’s so unusual is the fact that I’m not exactly a walking advertisement of machismo.
In fact, if I had to say it, I’d really agree that I tend to the more sensitive side. But the male ego is regularly waiting in the wings to zap a dude. And that’s sure what happened when I came dwelling to a/c that wasn’t working. I was confused right off the bat by the sizzling house once I entered after leaving the commercial Heating, Ventilation plus A/C at the office. It was clear that the a/c was not cooling the house. But what had me stumped was the fact that the a/c unit was running as it normally would. I walked outside just to double check, but the heat pump was doing its thing. I went over to the thermostat plus sure enough, it had power but the inside temperature was way up. Since the heat pump was running, the worst side of my guy brain thought it would be a wonderful idea to figure out if I could solve the problem. And that has that ego rearing its ugly head. I really didn’t want to be the guy who simply had to flip on the cooling switch to get the a/c running. But that has how little I knew about anything that comes to the heating plus cooling in my house. Of course, I didn’t find the answer plus only ended up more aggravated than when I got home. I finally did call the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C professionals plus they were able to repair it in under 30 minutes. I am just lucky I didn’t end up ruining something that would have cost me a ton of money.
