Yes, from doing HVAC work!
How Long Does it Take For Carbon Monoxide To Dissipate?
In the human body, where there is usually a steady stream of fresh air flowing in, the half life of carbon monoxide is five hours. This can be roughly translated to a half life of about five hours for a well-ventilated house as well. The half life means that after the specified amount of time, in this case five hours, half of the carbon monoxide will be gone. In another five hours, half of what’s left will be gone. Give it another five hours and another half will go away.
This means that, depending on how bad the leak was, it can take a day or two for it to dissipate, potentially more if you want to be on the cautious side. If the leak was relatively small, you won’t have to wait as long for it to completely dissipate. You should always err on the side of caution when it comes to things that are as dangerous and as deadly as carbon monoxide. Staying away from your home for an extra day, while inconvenient, can also help your own health as you won’t be coming home to a place that has lingering carbon monoxide in the air, starting the trouble all over again.

Like they should call you?
Actually, CPR training was required to maintain my license, smartass.
If I found your lifeless body on the ground though, I'd probably forget how as I'd try to think back to class when that other dummy was lying on the floor.

Off or On topic, I forget
umm HVAC seems to be pretty lucrative in Cali. dude came out to my house and serviced with a freon injection and fixed the breaker switch and I asked if he took cash and I had 3 C bills and he pulled out a massive wad of bills from his sock of 50s and 20s and the charge as like 240
dude was booked too. I had to beg him to come out. It was fucking like 107 that day

Verdict is in. To be read in about half an hour.

HVAC techs have to know a lot of crap. I know electrical, troubleshooting, the refrigerant cycle, leak detection and repair, soft soldering, silver soldering, welding, sheet metal, safety concerns (checking for cracked heat exchangers and flue restrictions or blockages, etc.), setting up circuit boards for variable speed blowers, air flow, parts replacement, sales, restocking and maintaining a work van, familiarity with the city and surrounding area, billing, etc., etc.
The hours can be brutal or feast or famine depending on the season. Being on call really sucks when some jackass calls you out in the middle of the night after working a 12 hour day. I don't miss that. Nowadays, the only ones who abuse me that way are my kids!

I can't see anything but a "guilty" verdict with the jury coming in in only 10 hours. The only question is "Which charge?"

Best hurry home, secure the TV and tool up before the mobs flood the streets.
