I have found that being a woman can make things very challenging in life.
- Is this a new perspective? Absolutely not.
I think most of us are finally aware of the fact that being of the female gender will make life a bit complicated. You always have people telling you what you can and cannot do, based on some outdated gender norms. You also have to worry a lot about people trying to take advantage of you because they see you as being lesser. I certainly wish that this was not the case. However, I find that I am consistently paranoid when I am dealing with repairs and maintenance jobs. Ever since the first time that I was ripped off at the mechanic shop, I have been rather afraid of taking the professional advice of any service worker. This is why I have come up with an excellent strategy whenever I have to make a professional heating, cooling, and air quality control repair or maintenance service. Whenever the heating, cooling, and air quality control technician is arriving at the house I do everything I can to appear stupid. By that, I mean that I have no idea how air conditioners work, I’ve never looked at my own furnace before, and I’m not even sure about the thermostat. I pretend like I’ve never heard about energy efficiency or the merits of arranging professional heating, cooling, and air quality control appointments on a regular basis. I start proposing expensive furnace and air conditioning unit replacement. I even will throw in some enticing discussions about airmedia purifiers. If the HVAC technician takes the bait to take my money, I fire them immediately.
