The day I was queen of the party

For a few hours everybody at the party was messing with the thermostat and the central AC unit before they finally gave up and called a professional for emergency help.

To be honest with you, it’s not often that I feel like I’m very popular. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a bit of an outsider to everyone that I’ve known. It’s difficult for me to connect with other people and I prefer to just spend my time alone as a result. That’s why I’ll never forget the single occasion when I was the queen of the neighborhood party. I didn’t even mean for this to occur, but I think that I would have been voted most popular at the event on that day. It all started when I was going about my normal business as a heating, cooling, and ventilation technician for a large air quality control company downtown. We normally perform residential routine service appointments and diagnostic services for local heating and cooling appointments. It’s not often that I encounter more than one homeowner at a time during my usual HVAC service appointment. That’s why, I was rather surprised and when I pulled up to the address that we were provided and found a whole house full of humans there. Apparently, they were in the middle of a large party and their central cooling system broke down. For a few hours everybody at the party was messing with the thermostat and the central AC unit before they finally gave up and called a professional for emergency help. That’s when I arrived. As I inspected the AC unit and diagnosed their repair problem, a crowd of humans was gathered around. When the AC unit kicked back into gear and air cold air started passing from the vents, the crowd erupted into a pause. They wouldn’t let me go back to the HVAC shop and insisted on making me the guest of honor at the party that night.
