My Rules Alright

Not sure why I’m making this, since I’m not even that good at writing. Actually, I kind of hate it. But it’s here, and maybe I’ll get better, and one day I can look back and say…yeah, I made this. Ladies.

That, and having an actual blog under your name is better than going for a job interview, and all the interview guy can find is some Facebook pictures of you at wild raves. Pretty sure I missed that job at Burger King because the guy took one look at my Twitter feed. Yeah, I should clean up my language.

Soooo…stuff. My name’s Abe. I do actually have a job, working in aged care. I know- weird, right? It’s not really me, and there are parts I hate, but Mum got me the job so whatever. I’m 21. No girlfriend, yet. And I had a car before it got impounded. Drove it into a car park at 90 kmph and pretty much lost control of the wheel. Lots of damage. Pretty stupid, yeah, but I got this nasty cut above my eye afterwards, and it still kind of stings. So really, everybody was a victim.

So, my task for today was investigating the source of the weird heat. The whole place was boiling like we were in a lava pit, and the air con guys were late because there’s been this heat wave lately. It seems everyone in Brighton needs air conditioning servicing. Like…everybody. So since I did one term of a technical skills course at MTSC, I’m the one who has to crawl through all the ducts and find out what’s going on before all our patients start wilting or whatever. It wasn’t great for me either.

So I did my best. Crossed some wires, saw some sparks, maybe hit the main cooling thing with a metal pipe a few times. And it seemed to work, for about an hour or so. Air con was back on, everybody happy, old folks grabbing my hand and telling me what a helpful young man I was. They don’t know me very well.

The day was saved for another hour, after which the best air conditioning repair team Cheltenham has to offer arrived to do battle with the stupid system. Bet they hit that cooling box with a pipe a few times too. That’s life I guess. Fixing stuff. Taking public transport.
