I had known Paul for almost numerous years, plus the two of us often talked about work, but I never asked where he worked. The people I was with and I were friends because of our wives, but one evening the two of us were kneeling in the apartment playing cardds when I observed it was getting chilly. I asked my husbandy if he thought it was getting cold. The control unit was set at seventy, but the temperature was down to sixty-several! Paul stood up plus told myself and others he would look at it. I didn’t want to bother him, plus he said that was what friends were for, as he was walking away, his husbandy told myself and others he was the best Heating, Ventilation plus A/C serviceman in the company. If anyone could repair our gas furnace, it was him. I went downstairs plus the two of us began talking. I asked why he had never told myself and others he was an Heating, Ventilation plus A/C serviceman. He said he didn’t say anything for the same reason I hadn’t mentioned I was a electrician. Too often people used friendship as a reason to use someone else’s knowledge, plus he didn’t want that kind of friendship. His being an Heating, Ventilation plus A/C serviceman was a convenience since the two of us hung out together, however he hoped the two of us didn’t call him so the two of us didn’t have to spend money the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C company. I would have never considered doing that, plus I told him so. He laughed, finished the toil on the gas furnace, plus said he knew that, or the two of us wouldn’t be friends. I l earned a lesson about friendship that evening, that I didn’t suppose I needed to learn. Friendship isn’t about how much you can do for each other, but spending quality time plus not ruining a friendship by expecting favors.
