We all know the dreaded feeling of not having air conditioning when it gets hot outside. I remember growing up and having to fight to keep the ac on, it was a fight, that mostly I would lose. But in the long run I won by staying at my grandma’s house. Thankfully I could run the air conditioner as long as I wanted over there.
So if things do get out of control with the temperature, always remember that there are things you can do to stay cool. You can always stay at a friends house, a family members house, or you can buckle down and shell out a little bit to get a hotel/motel room. Sometimes that little payment can help you get a good nights sleep to prepare you for in the morning when you have to go to work.
One night I couldn’t sleep because the air conditioner wasn’t working, and I had a very important presentation the next morning. It was so hot and terrible that I kept thinking about it and I couldn’t go to sleep. So at around five in the morning, I finally get to sleep and then the alarm goes off at 7am. Well needless to say, I hit the snooze button, and then I finally wake up to my cell phone going off and my boss screaming about where I’m at. The very important businessmen who were looking for new business, decided to use someone else just because I was extremely late. Well my boss wasn’t very happy at all. I ended up getting written up for being late.
I guess you could guess that I didn’t stay there for too much longer. All of these issues could have been prevented had I just had my air conditioner going. I mean, it wasn’t my fault that it was broken, but it was my fault for not getting it repair fast enough, or having a replacement next to me.
