I offered to come over and take a look.
Jimmy is one of my best friends. We met three years ago when I moved to the coast. I was shy and reserved and a nerd from the Midwest. Jimmy welcomed me and even gave me a place to stay. Jimmy and I lived together for almost a year before I found a place of my own. Luckily, I found a pretty good job working for a commercial heating company. I work in the heating company warehouse. It’s a pretty good gig. I’ve learned how to operate and drive a forklift, and I can fix a ton of heating problems. One day I’m going to take my certification test so I can work as a heating technician. Right now, I am happy working in the warehouse. I have a few friends that work as heating technicians, and they have to be available for emergency calls every other weekend. I’m not prepared to give up any weekends right now, even if it means making a lot more money. Jimmy called me a few days ago, because he had some trouble with the heat pump at his house. Jimmy was hoping that I could figure out the problem, so he wouldn’t have to call an expensive heating company. I offered to come over and take a look. All of my work in the heating company warehouse paid off, because I quickly realized that a specific part needed to be replaced. They even carry the part at the hardware store, so we didn’t have to order anything. When I was finished with the repair, Jimmy rewarded me with a big bag of stinky marijuana. That is a great trade if you ask me.
