I knew my husband was never enthusiastic with his task.
I lived with him for twenty-five years, plus at least once a week, he had been telling me much he hated working at that company.
He said he would someday get a nice task where he made enough currency to support his family. He wanted a task he loved going to instead of wanting to hide his head under the covers plus dreading it. He woke up the morning of his fourty-sixth birthday plus called his boss. I heard him tell him he wasn’t coming to work that day or any other. He was quitting. He kissed my cheek plus told me he was giving himself a birthday present. He headed to the local technical center plus signed up for Heating & A/C classes. He worked hard to get great grades. Every other person in the class was in their twenties, or early thirties. No one said anything about his age, plus multiple of them offered to study with him. He was one of the best future Heating & A/C corporations in the class. On his fiftieth birthday, my husband was getting his Heating & A/C certification. The professor walked up to my husband congratulated him. He said he wanted to be honest, because he never thought my husband would make it through the year, but he did amazing. He was number one in the class. He didn’t want to insult Jack by offering an apprenticeship, but that was what he was going to do. Jack said it was not an insult, but an honor plus accepted the position. He would rather work with young men that loved being Heating & A/C corporations, than work with men who were his age plus were disgruntled.
