Birthday parties are tricky – especially when things go wrong!

The thermostat on the wall showed that it was eighty-two degrees inside the home, and the A/C system wasn’t running! After fiddling with the thermostat, we came to the conclusion that something actually was wrong with the unit after all

I’ve been known as vindictive, and I can hold a grudge for longer than necessary. It’s not something I’m proud to admit, but it’s an important factor in how my personality is the way it is. I was hoping that marriage – and fatherhood – would help me find the will to forgive. Sadly, it has only gotten worse! See, I recently hosted a birthday party for my son at my home. My wife and I spent weeks preparing for this birthday party, and spent hundreds of dollars on decorations, food, party favors and gifts. We wanted everything to be perfect! As a precaution, I called my local heating, ventilation and air conditioning service providers, and requested that they provide a check-up for our system at home. They came by the house and inspected the air conditioning systems, and found nothing wrong! I thought that was suspicious, but I had other things to tend to. The day of the party, we had over thirty guests in attendance for my son’s birthday party! He was so excited, but the excitement wore off as we realized it was much warmer in our house than usual. The thermostat on the wall showed that it was eighty-two degrees inside the home, and the A/C system wasn’t running! After fiddling with the thermostat, we came to the conclusion that something actually was wrong with the unit after all. One melted cake later, and this quickly turned into one of my most painful moments as a parent. I’ll never trust that HVAC service technician again!
