Hundreds of dollars later, I have a working furnace once again
I always thought that life would be easier the older that I got, but I have found that the opposite is definitely true. When I was a child, I could not wait to grow up, but now that I am an adult, I wish so badly that I could go back to being a child again. Adulthood comes with so much responsibility that it is hardly fun. Do not get me wrong, I do enjoy my life, and I cannot complain. I have a wonderful job and a wonderful family, but it is simply more work than when I was a child. There were so many things that my parents took care of that I did not even realize. When things went wrong, they dealt with it. Many times, I did not even know that there was something wrong. My furnace broke two days ago, and I was so frustrated. For a moment I thought back to my childhood of a time when my parent’s furnace broke. All I remember is that it was cold for about a day, and then an HVAC technician showed up to our house and fixed the furnace. It seemed so simple. Well, I called an HVAC company, and I had to go through an hour long conversation with them to schedule someone to come take a look at my furnace. Hundreds of dollars later, I have a working furnace once again. This is why being an adult is hard. It makes me just want to go back home to my parents and thank them for everything that they have done for me and my siblings.
