She wanted a woman AC technician
I own a big rental complex.
- I have four units that I rent out and have been fortunate enough to have good renters.
They are all clean, nice and pay on time. My favorite renter is probably Sarah. She is a widow, living out her retirement in the complex. She loves telling me the latest gossip plus colorful stories. I know that she is alone now. So I make it my mission to talk to her a couple of times a week, maybe more if my job allows it. I have been working over 50 hours a week lately, plus it’s killing me. Sarah was telling me about how earlier in the week she had been having problems with her cooling system. She had called me and I sent over a handyman to check out the AC unit. She said the man made her uncomfortable. She just didn’t like having a stranger in her rental unit, looking at all her stuff. She wanted a woman to repair the AC machine. This was going to be a problem, I knew it. I then had to call the many HVAC providers in town and ask if anyone had a woman on staff. Apparently HVAC is a very male dominated world. I had a lot of difficulty finding a woman that would make Sarah comfortable. At long last I did manage to snag one. I also had to work around her schedule. So my renter had to wait weeks rather than a day to get her AC back up and running.
