Around noon, the maintenance person came to our house and switched from heater to cooler. This maintenance man is a young and polite man, and we always like to have him for the switching service. He is always quick on his job, but for some reasons it took him much longer than usual today. One time I heard I heard a thud around the entrance area, but I didn’t pay too much attention about it. I heard two of my neighbors kept on asking the maintenance man if he was okay or not. I also heard his repeated replies saying he was okay. I thought he dropped some tools or something from the roof.
After the maintenance man left, our neighbors came to us and told us what happened. The maintenance man fell from the ladder and hit his butt on the asphalted driveway. But maybe he was embarrassed, he quickly stood up and got back to his work. I saw the maintenance man walking around the house in a normal speed and had a small conversation with me before he left. He walked to his truck normally and drove away. I felt sorry for his accident, but at the same time I was thankful that he didn’t get injured badly.
