I don’t guess if you have ever seen those cartoons where the slow turtle was running a race with a rabbit, however I have.
Somehow the turtle consistently seems to win the race in those cartoons, however that is not the case in real life.
A turtle is slow, no matter where he is. Even when the cartoon turtle was at his slowest, he was still faster than the Heating & A/C serviceman that came to our home last week. It took him 10 minutes to get out of his repair van, & another 10 minutes of checking through his tool bag, & patting down his pockets, before he got into the house. It made me wonder how long it was going to take him to check our oil furnace. I was afraid that by the time he even got to the oil furnace room, that our oil furnace would age enough that we would need to have it replaced. I guess that I’m easily caring a little bit too far as far as how slow he was, however I certainly guess I’m right. When the Heating & A/C serviceman finally got into the house, my dad showed them to the oil furnace room. Maybe it was my father sitting over him as he did all this work, or maybe it was the system that it took them so long to get into the oil furnace room, that he felt he needed to be little quicker, however it took him less than 20 minutes to complete the job. When dad came back upstairs from the oil furnace room, he told my mother that he didn’t guess that I would be doing that job much longer. He said he hated being an Heating & A/C serviceman, even more than he hated being in university.
