I assumed it had to be an electronic cigarette, but that wouldn’t make his eyes glassy
Last week, I had to have my air conditioning serviced. Although we were still experiencing winter weather in our area, it was nothing to be in the twenties one week, and the next week we were having summer-like temperatures. I made the appointment and was surprised that they were sending an HVAC technician to my house the following Saturday morning. The HVAC tech arrived precisely at 8AM. I was up, dressed and had already finished my breakfast before he arrived. I watched as he got out of the service van, and swore he was staggering. He seemed to not be functioning as well as he should be. I wondered if he had some kind of medical problem, but then he disappeared from sight when he got up on the porch. I was shocked to see his blood shot eyes and the faint odor of a substance around his person. I didn’t want to let him in the house, so I pointed to the air conditioning unit around the corner. He looked at me a bit oddly, but he headed back to the AC unit. I watched out the window as he began to look around. I wasn’t sure what he was looking for, until I saw him pull something out of his pocket and puff on it. I assumed it had to be an electronic cigarette, but that wouldn’t make his eyes glassy. Before I gave it much thought, I called the HVAC company and told them my suspicions. I didn’t mean to get him fired, but I swore the man was on drugs, and I was right.
