Although I brought some warm clothes, I honestly was not prepared for cold temperatures, and I nearly died trying to work outside, and eventually, the owner of the heating and cooling supplier sent me to a different job that was indoors
The heating and a/c supplier honestly did not do a good job preparing me for my first afternoon on the job. I know that I could have done a better job trying to figure out what our first afternoon would be like, but it would have been nice if the owner of the HVAC supplier would have given me a heads up about what working for the heating and air conditioning supplier would be like. I am personally friends with the owner of the HVAC supplier! Although I have no experience in the heating and cooling realm, I needed a job, and the heating and cooling supplier was hiring. I explained that I did not know that I wanted to be a heating and cooling professional. I honestly was only interested in making enough money to pay my bills, and that is exactly what I did. I started my job with the heating and cooling supplier in the middle of the winter, right after the holidays. I had just quit another job, and I took a few weeks off before I started working for the heating and cooling supplier. When I showed up on our first afternoon at work, I realized I was honestly ill-prepared to work for the heating and cooling supplier. First of all, the heating and cooling supplier works outside or in new houses during the winter, and that meant that I had to dress warmly. Although I brought some warm clothes, I honestly was not prepared for cold temperatures, and I nearly died trying to work outside, and eventually, the owner of the heating and cooling supplier sent me to a different job that was indoors. Furthermore, I did not know that I needed to bring all of my own tools to work for the heating and cooling supplier. We are all technically independent contractors, so I had to deliver materials. It took me weeks to get all of our stuff in order.
