I get to work about 30 minutes early so I can clean out my truck, load any equipment and tools I’ll need for the day, and take a few minutes to review my calls. (I’m an hvac service technician)

Sounds like a good plan since you're in the truck for work!

Sometimes the trucks can get pretty bad! This was from 12 hours working under a trailer building ductwork.

Wow 12 hours?!
Mustve been really tiring
Thank you for your service and keep up the good work!

Ty!

This particular job felt really good to complete. This elderly lady in a trailer was having rodents chewing through her very old duct board, and actually getting inside her residence, so we ripped it all out and replaced it with 26g sheet metal ductwork so nothing could chew through it. It’s safe to say that it was one of the more dirty jobs we had to do considering the massive nest they built in there. Lmaoo

Yea I know. I can't work at any job for longer than 6 hours. 12 hours would literally drain all the life force out of me.

I do 12 hours every day. Sometimes 13. Usually it’s 630 am to 730-8 pm depending on how long the job takes. Go home. Eat. Shower. Sleep a few hours. Rinse and repeat. 5 days a week. Oh, and I have 2 kids on top of all that.

God sir I cannot imagine. How do you pull it off? You must have super human endurance. May i inquire as to your line of work?
