I had to work on the weekend, but I didn’t mind at all.
Sometimes you meet the most interesting people on Saturdays and sundays.
My girlfriend was away last weekend with her folks. They went to see some family so I knew that I was going to be alone on Saturday and sunday. I told my boss that I would be happy to work and he was impressed with my initiative. Really, I just didn’t want to be bored at home by myself. On Saturday morning I had a bright and early heat pump repair. The lady lived in a condo on the north side of town. I recognized the name of the condos and I knew it was going to be an elderly customer. Those condos are only for senior citizens. I went to see the customer and she described the problem with the heat pump repair. It probably took about 30 minutes for me to actually find the issue. I had to drive back to the shop to get parts. The woman did not tell us what kind of machine she had so I could not be prepared. After I finished fixing the problem with the heat pump, the lady offered to get me a glass of sweet tea. We sat and talked for thirty minutes or more. I didn’t have anything else to do and she seemed to really enjoy the conversation. She told me that I reminded her of her husband when he was my age. He passed away almost fifteen years ago, but I could see that she still loved him very much.
