One day, my boss’s assistant did not come to work because he had a cold, and I was told to fill in for him.
I was not officially employed as I was still on probation.
I was on a call with him for the better part of the day because he knew everything about the boss and how he worked while I, on the other hand, was still trying to find the cafeteria without getting lost. By midday, it was so hot even the boss could not bear it, and he told me to find out what was wrong and fix it, and he left for lunch. The secretary told me where to find the heating dealer’s number. I called them and asked them to get an HVAC professional to run heater maintenance at the office building as soon as possible. He must have been along our street because he arrived in less than thirty minutes. I had never been so happy to see a heating company car. According to the heating technician, the heat pump was okay and did not need any repair; the smart thermostat was the root cause of the malfunction. After that, my probation period went on without another hitch. On the other hand, I was trying to remember when I last asked the HVAC professional to service my home heating equipment. The system in my home, or rather my parents’ house, was a heat pump installation, and I did not know anything beyond that about it. I turned on the fireplace to help with indoor comfort, but only during cold nights when I was home alone watching a movie. I was almost never around when my parents called the heating business. The incident at work showed that I needed to learn more about heating and get a general idea about the heating industry.
