Strange experiences with AC systems
Another time I arrived for some A/C repairs to find an elderly man and woman sitting in the living room stark naked.
Good writing comes from experience. You need passion, you need skills with words, of course, but if you don’t have any life experience then you don’t have anything to say. You have to understand something to have insight about it, so people who never experience life don’t have very much insight to offer. I have come to understand this, and started drawing from my own past to enhance my stories. I have worked a lot of jobs over the years, so I pour a lot of these memories into my latest scripts, especially my years working as a heating and cooling repair tech out in the country. There aren’t a lot of crazy things that happen during heating and cooling repair jobs, but every once in a while there will be. One time a guy got so worried about his prized pigs overheating that he brought all fifteen of them into his air conditioned farmhouse. Another time I arrived for some A/C repairs to find an elderly man and woman sitting in the living room stark naked. They said it was so hot that this was all they could do for cooling themselves down. A few years ago I got called to a house to fix an old window-mounted air conditioner, which hadn’t been used in some years. I found a small family of squirrels living inside the housing of the A/C unit, and I told the owner the squirrels had squatters rights and it was their air conditioner now. I don’t know if HVAC work will make a good movie, but it might.
