I think I’m replacing a mobster’s HVAC system

Look, I’m not the type of person to exaggerate things but I am almost positive that I have somehow done a job for the mafia.

Ok, well, maybe that did sound a little dramatic but it’s true! If you don’t already know me, I’m an HVAC technician.

I’m the guy your HVAC provider sends when something is wrong with your heater or air conditioner. I work odd hours and I never know where I’m going to end up. Well, today, I ended up going out to a mansion just outside of town and was greeted by this big Italian guy wearing a wife beater, dress pants and a golden crucifix around his neck. When I got inside and started taking a look at his HVAC system it was clear that he needed his filters changed due to the cigar smoke that permeated through the air. He kept talking about how it was embarrassing that his air conditioner wasn’t working and about how he had “a bunch of good friends” coming over and how he “couldn’t afford to be embarrassed” by something like a broken air conditioner. I fixed his issue right away– in case you were wondering he had a freon leak, so it was really easy to fix his air conditioner and I went ahead and changed his filters for him too. Once I was done, he handed me a fist full of fifties (I’m not kidding) and patted me on the back saying that I’d done him a “tremendous service” and that he would have to pay me back some day. I’m not sure what to think but I have to say that was one of the more interesting, and lucrative, jobs I’ve ever worked as an HVAC technician.
