I knew that if I didn’t do my job well she would complain to the HVAC contractor about me
After having a bad breakup, having the upper hand is important to some people. I know it was important to Jade. She was the one who dumped me, and then the one who came crawling back. It was the worst breakup of my life, and I was emotionally devastated for weeks. When she tried to get me back, I was just starting to get over her and wasn’t interested in going backwards with my life. I held my ground, kept away from her, and started putting in extra shifts with the local HVAC contractor. One day Jade’s name showed up on my list of work orders, and she called in requesting an HVAC inspection and tune-up. I really did not want to face her, but all the other HVAC techs were booked solid, so I had no choice. I will say that it was the hardest HVAC inspection of my entire career. Jade had a new boyfriend, and the real purpose of my HVAC inspection was for her to torment me. She was so lovey-dovey with this guy, and even though I was digging through ductwork and checking fuses, she was trying to upset me. I always strive for professionalism so I ignored her as best I could and focused on doing a top-quality HVAC inspection and tune-up for her. I knew that if I didn’t do my job well she would complain to the HVAC contractor about me. It took about two hours, and I was in mental anguish the whole time, but finally I finished her HVAC work, gave her the invoice and left, never to see her again.
