My task is time-consuming, demanding and stressful.
When our team is working on a project, every one of us often put in overtime minutes and find it necessary to work weekends. I can go several weeks without getting a afternoon off. When I finally get a free afternoon, I certainly want to relax and enjoy it. However, there is regularly a long list of household tasks waiting for me. This past Tuesday was our first afternoon off in almost three weeks. I was determined to get an early start and complete our many chores around the home as hastily as possible, however unfortunately, I slept through our alarm. By the time I got up, the dog had peed on the floor. After cleaning up the mess, I headed outside to mow the grass and trim the shrubs. I discovered that the grass mower was out of gas and then managed to cut the extension cord with the trimmer and get stung by a bee. I decided to turn our attention to the air conditioning. I was hoping to take the proposal apart and perform some necessary maintenance. I figured a fantastic way to start was a filter change. Because I had no replacement filters available, I drove to the local hardware store. Unfortunately, I had no method what size or type of filter I needed. I took a guess, bought an air filter, returned home and saw that it didn’t fit. The minute trip to the hardware store, I remembered to bring the filter along with me. The store was out of the type of filter I required. I then drove around to three weird stores before finding what I needed. By the time I got home and installed the filter, I was too upset to tackle air conditioning maintenance. Instead, I hired a licensed HVAC contractor to take care of it for me. I chose to lay on our porch and drink a beer.
