I had to laugh at the voicemail I received this evening from the HVAC tech that installed my new AC unit earlier today: “Hi, this is James Piper. I’m just calling to check in with you to make sure everything is working properly. But I’m sure that I’d have heard from you by now if there was a problem.”

Bless his heart, my cell phone logs reveal that we have had FIFTEEN separate telephone conversations since Monday morning, most of them initiated by me. (And this doesn’t count the calls to his competitor as I armed myself with pricing data). Yeah, I get a wee bit OCD when it comes to our AC units (and spending $$$$).
As I marvel at the patience of James, I am mindful of the trials of Job. Although this ordeal has been disheartening and expensive, it is, after all, only an AC unit.
