Well talk about shooting myself in the foot,this morning I had a piss take at Imperial Prince for his horror start to his day ( the first world problem thread) and that was when my day took a nose dive down the *********.
So yesterday I made a phone calls to organise work ( carpenter/ builder) .
The first is to meet other trades on site to go through a job to be quoted I organised the time with the client,the client is a no show,2 other tradies are a no show, both claim to be too busy....well **** you .
Another job to do as arranged was to install some handrails in a dunny for some elderly people,I ring before to double check.
Am told....
" oh but we are going shopping after lunch"
" no worries it will take me 30 minutes to do the job"
" oh but my husbands helper is coming to give him a shower"
" not a problem the rails are going in the toilet"
" oh,okay"
I roll up and am told to mind the oxygen tubes on the floor connected to her husbands mask,then told could I come back another day?
" why "
"Oh we are worried that the sparks form your drill will ignite the oxygen" ( as if a day will make a difference).
" but I will working down the passage well away from the oxygen supply and the drill will not cause an explosion"
" oh but it might"
At this stage I am getting pissed off at the stereotypical whinging pommie carry on.
" oh not but its not right,I don't like it".
" ma'am I have to do this if your husband is to use the toilet,these rails are for him"
" oh no can you come back on Tuesday "
" ok,Tuesday it is,goodbye"
The thing that really amazed me with her ******** whinging about the oxygen was that the cylinders were in the lounge not 3 metres from a lit oil fire.
So off to the next pre arranged job and yep no ****** home.
Then I ring a sparky to check that the pre arranged meeting later was still a goer.... Nah sorry too busy . **** you as we'll .
But the missus saved the day by bringing me a selection of beers....I might thank her later,nudge,nudge,wink,wink.
Then I might get pissed and suffer from brewers droop.....ahh fanbloodytastic when will the **** stop!
**** Fridays .
