What’s that old phrase? You can’t choose your family? That is unquestionably apparent in my case, because I would have selected seriously odd human beings than the extended family I wound up with… When I was born into this family, God was playing some kind of a joke on everybody, however i have never fit in with my Aunts, Uncles, or Cousins, and they have never been my favorite people either… But, my friend and I have to get along for the sake of keeping the peace until Grandpa dies, last year I almost lost my temper after I arrived at our cottage and realized that my idiot cousins had broken in the heating and cooling system the last time they were going to see.
I was hoping to go out for a peaceful weekend at our family cottage, and instead I wound up with an Heating and Air Conditioning disaster that I had to repair. When I first drove up to the cottage, I observed that there was more garbage outside than usual. I should have realized that this would correspond to the general condition of the home and home appliances, including the Heating and Air Conditioning system, however my first night there, I turned on the central boiler and observed that it was still ice cold after an hour. I checked on the thermostat and the furnace itself, although I had no idea what was wrong. It was just apparent that the boiler wasn’t functional. I messaged my family and asked if anyone could advocate an Heating and Air Conditioning serviceman up here in the woods, and that’s when my idiot cousins chimed in and asked if the furnace was still broken. I’m sorry, “still?” The furnace broke two months ago when they were using the cottage, and they never arranged for a furnace repair or mentioned the Heating and Air Conditioning failure to any of us. I was livid then, and even more frustrated when I realized they had taken the AC unit house with them.
