When I started missing appointments my bosses called me into their office and asked if I would like to supervise the entire team of heating & cooling specialists
I’m not the sort of person who I would consider to be an authority figure. I’m a bit of a mess and I assumed that it translates into my professional career. Apparently, I was wrong with that assumption. It seems like my job is giving me new opportunities and responsibilities all the time. No matter how many mistakes I’ve made or how many times I have called in for a mental health day, they keep increasing my salary and title. I started out as a lowly heating and cooling phone operator. I would answer the phone calls when customers needed to make a professional service or repair appointment. It was no big deal for me to dispatch heating and cooling workers to the appropriate addresses. However, I was getting bored with the HVAC phone operator position and I started missing days of work. Rather than firing me, my bosses sent me to heating and cooling technical school. They wanted me to become a certified heating, cooling, and ventilation technician because they said that I was smart and capable. Within 18 months I had earned my professional certification as an HVAC worker. I began attending my own heating and cooling appointments for the shop and conducting specialized air quality control management services. Even then, I found myself feeling restless and unhappy. When I started missing appointments my bosses called me into their office and asked if I would like to supervise the entire team of heating & cooling specialists. Today, I am managing 10 expert heating and cooling workers at a local air quality control repair shop. After all my errors, I definitely never thought that I would be someone’s boss.
