Lament for the air conditioning repair man.
My air conditioning was broken. I haven't really mentioned that to you guys, but it went on the fritz Sunday afternoon and I've been getting ample usage out of my ceiling fans since then. I finally gave in and called the repair guy today, since I can kite him a check, what with tomorrow being payday and all.
As air conditioner repairman was working on the unit (insert gay joke here, if it makes you feel better) I realized that his job has gotta suck and rock at the same time. Sucks, because wherever he goes there's no air conditioning. Because, well, people are waiting for him to fix it and all. No AC at every stop. That's gotta be miserable, especially here in Florida. Imagine that all day, every day. Ugh. That work truck has got to be a little slice of nirvana when you hop back in and crank the AC on high.
Still, it's gotta rock since people LUV U 4EVAR!!!1!1!! when you've got that unit working properly (again, insert gay joke here if it makes you feel better). Well, they will until they get the bill, of course (insert gay prostitution joke here if it makes you feel better).
The worst part has gotta be people like me making gay jokes at your expense, even if you gave me 10% off the total, bringing it down to a measly $214 for space-age cooling technology. Still, not my fault you're name's Butch, dude.

A word from a banking professional: be careful about writing those rubber checks. Due to new banking laws and faster check processing there is very little, if any, float time on checks anymore. If your A/C repairman deposits that check today then it might try to clear your account before your paycheck is posted.

Gave you 10% off, eh ;-) For services rendered? ;-)
(P.S. That's my gay joke, just in case you weren't sure)
Pagan, he assured me that he wouldn't be turning the check in until this afternoon. My paycheck is already in the account as of 5am this morning. Don't think I didn't plan this out accordingly.
Holly, the winks gave your gay joke away. I wouldn't have figured it out if not for them. Seriously.
You know what's crazy? The exact same thing happened to me when the air conditioning repair guy showed up. Except he didn't take my fire extinguisher. True story.
Those terry cloth dress thangs and smocks and whatever else you call them have a tendency to make people look pregnant. Just a word of warning.
What also sucks for a/c repair guys is nice 70-75 degree weather because they get no business. It's a good thing that doesn't last for very long in these parts.
The selection and installation of an air-conditioner is a major project. It is important to replace your failing unit before it breaks down if possible. On the other hand, it also makes economic sense to get the greatest possible use.
