I really don’t like it when things don’t go according to plan, and unfortunately for me, that happens more often than not.
It’s why I often have a plan B and plan C, just in case.
A great example was last week. I had scheduled a HVAC installation appointment. I bought a new air conditioning system from the HVAC corporation down the road and had it delivered and everything. The new heating and cooling component had to sit for a few days, because the HVAC business was booked. Finally, my appointment came and the HVAC tech was supposed to arrive at 5:00. 5:00 came and went, and no sign of the HVAC worker. I texted him, and an hour later he responded saying he was late, but he would probably make it by 7:00. That time came and went, and still no HVAC specialist. I figured by then it was their closing time and the A/C worker would have gone home. So I went out with my friends to have a few drinks at the bar, when at 8:00, I got a text from him saying he arrived at my house. I was surprised that he was still working, and so I called my teenage son to let him in. I arrived home 20 minutes later, and was able to supervise the rest of the air conditioner installation from there. Once everything was installed and he left, I was glad to have my cooling device finally working, but I wish he could have arrived earlier, because my night out with my friends was ruined.
