I tore up the oil furnace the other day and now my husband is definitely mad at me because of it.

In his defense, he did try to tell me to leave the oil furnace alone.

He knows that I am definitely terrible at fixing things around the apartment and that I don’t have any idea what I’m doing with repairs. I think that’s especially true when it comes to heating and cooling repairs. I don’t suppose I know anything at all about Heating and A/C systems, and I’ve never definitely taken a class or anything on it. I used to think that I wanted to be a Heating and A/C repairman of some sort back when I was in private school, however later on I ended up changing my mind. I ended up going to school to become a boring old accountant, and I spent my afternoons basically chained to a desk in our office and I definitely don’t like it. I can’t believe that I paid money to go to school to become something that I definitely hate. Anyway, by the time I get home in the evenings, the last thing I want to do is look at any numbers! However, I do want to work with my hands if I can. That’s why I’m regularly looking for things to repair around the apartment if anything is broken. Unluckily for my husband, that means that I try to repair things that I don’t really know anything about. I think I have that thing that men like to call female answer syndrome. I just have to try to repair things myself, even if I end up making them worse than they were to start with. That’s what I did with the oil furnace and my husband is so mad.
