When people complain about being on call I have to say that I don’t understand what the problem is.
Maybe I’m just an extremely flexible and helpful human being.
It’s hard for me to say so, because I can’t comprehend anybody needing so much alone time that they would rather turn off their phone then go help another human.That’s why, I found the perfect career for myself when I became an emergency heating and cooling technician. When I was first attending my HVAC certification classes at the local trade school, I remember them talking about how stressful it could be if you wound up taking overnight shifts for emergency HVAC repair services. At the time, I was actually terrified of these emergency appointments because I didn’t have the confidence in my own heating and cooling repairs bills. After a few years on the job as a residential HVAC technician, however, I felt like I was prepared to take on the difficult night shift. I became our residential on call air quality control specialist for all emergency appointments and service repairs. I have to say, this is my favorite job of all times. All night, I wait for people to need me, so I never feel bored or alone. I don’t mind occupying myself and waiting for the emergency repair calls to come in. Most of the time, I have the evening to myself without interruption. Every once in a while when somebody does need an emergency HVAC repair, I’m even happier. Then, I get to be the hero who fixes their HVAC system in their darkest hour.
