I thought a boy would own the HVAC company.

I went to the HVAC company with my dad when he was going to talk to the owner of the company.

Dad had worked there for almost fifteen years, when he broke his back.

He was hoping he would get his job back now the doctor had released him. Dad asked the secretary if the boss was in and she welcomed him back. When we got into the office, it shocked me to see a girl there. I looked up at my dad and wondered if he had walked into the right office. I was sure the owner of the HVAC company would be a boy. I never thought a girl would have this job. She looked at me and reached out to shake my hand. I wanted to crawl under the chair when dad told her I thought she was a man. I didn’t think she was a man, but the HVAC company owner would be a man. She told me she was an HVAC technician for almost five years before her father asked her to help him run the company. Now, she owned the entire thing and was still working as an HVAC technician. I looked at dad and asked if he didn’t feel weird working for a woman. She laughed and said he wasn’t allowed to feel weird working for a woman. Dad said that he was proud to be working with her and for her. She was a top-notch HVAC technician and an even better HVAC company owner. Maybe being an HVAC technician wouldn’t be bad if I get to work with cool people like my dad and his boss.
