Around 3:00 in the afternoon on Thursday, I received a phone call from my daughter. She never calls me at work unless there is an emergency. When the receptionist told me that she was on the phone, I immediately hung up with a fire and took the call. I asked my daughter if everything was all right and she told me that there was no heat in the house when she got home from school. I told my daughter not to worry, because we had a space heater in the closet. I gave her directions to turn on the space heater and where to place the machine. After that, I contacted the furnace repair company that is nearby. The furnace repair company is locally owned and operated and has been in business for more than 40 years. I got an ETA of less than 60 minutes and I was only 15 minutes away from the house. I hung up the phone and I immediately called my daughter. I told her that a furnace repair business provider was on the way and I was going to leave work before they arrived. I told her to turn on the space heater and not to worry about anything. After that I talked to my boss and told that guy that I was going to leave early. He did not care as long as I finished up with everything at home. I really like being able to work from home when problems like this arise. The heating problem turned out to be the thermostat. It wasn’t anything serious and now we have an upgrade.
