I was on my way home from work and the boss called me to help another employee with the last few hours of a boiler and air conditioner installation job.
The boiler and air conditioner installation job was the first one that the employee had done on his own and he was taking quite a long time to finish up.
The guy had some help in the afternoon, but he was still struggling to finish before 8:00 p.m. I told my boss that I would turn around and go back to help the young guy finish up on time. I got off on the next exit of the interstate. I turned around and got on the westbound side of traffic. I was coming down the ramp when I saw someone with a flat tire. I decided to pull over and help the young man. The kid did not look like he was even 21 years old, but he actually looked like he was driving for the first time. The kid was stumbling around trying to figure out how to change the tire. I told the kid to get into the vehicle and I would handle the concerns with the tire. I changed the tire and got the kid back on the highway and less than 15 minutes. The Heating and A/C installation job went actually well and I ended up back home by 9:00 p.m. I got a cellphone call later that evening and it was a lady that was looking for me. I provided the kid my card just in case the tire didn’t make it the whole way home. His mom wanted to thank me for making sure that he got off the interstate safely.
