The good thing about all this is that the reason I made the mistake of scheduling so many appointments is because there is simply so much work to go around for an HVAC technician right now in the middle of this hot and humid summer
Today, I learned a very important lesson about my job. I learned that it is possible to overbook appointments. One should not let their work overwhelm them to the point where they are drained and exhausted. You see, I am an independent contractor. I am an HVAC technician who is certified, and I set my own schedule and choose my own jobs. On this particular day, I took on almost more work than I could handle. I have to admit that if I worked like this every single day, then I wouldn’t have any breaks or any leisure time whatsoever throughout the week. This is not a usual thing that happens to me. I book appointments in the normal manner, typically, so this was a one time thing. The good thing about all this is that the reason I made the mistake of scheduling so many appointments is because there is simply so much work to go around for an HVAC technician right now in the middle of this hot and humid summer. I must say that if this ever happens again, I may very well need to refer the customers to a different HVAC company, because I won’t be able to handle them all. I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard in my life before today, but to be honest you! There’s nothing wrong with helping people out with their HVAC problems, and making a good deal of money in the process, but I need to be more careful about my scheduling next time!
