My best friend and I have known each other since we were kids. Both of us grew up in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. We went to the same elementary school together and we both played football together. When we were in high school, we dated two girls that were best friends. My best friend and I went to the same technical school to learn HVAC repair. We went to work for the same HVAC repair business in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. We worked at the Royal Palm Beach HVAC repair and installation business together for 3 years. During that time I broke up with my girlfriend and my best friend got engaged. Eventually he ended up marrying the girl that he dated since high school. She finished her college classes six months ago and started looking for a job in that field. Last week she got a job at a place up north. Now my best friend is moving and looking for a brand new job. I can’t imagine the guy working at a different HVAC repair business. We have been installation partners forever and now I’ll have to break in some new guy with an entirely different style. I don’t know what it will be like to work at this place without my best friend. We have been together for so long that the guy is more like a brother than a friend. I’m not looking forward to the day when he packs up the truck and moves. I’m really happy they will both have new opportunities, but I wish they didn’t have to go all the way to Daytona Beach.
