So today i had to pick up a power flusher from hss at half seven this morning. Took me 40 minutes to get there and was then told that its not actually there, but it will be here for lunchtime. I explained that i had hired it from today for three days and received confirmation of its availability for 7.30 this morning. The air was blue, i was cheesed off and i had realised that the ss in hss stood for shower of sh'ite.
Have to explain this to my customers, then change a wheel on the van (it was a slick, with strands of metal poking through) and then reorganise the rest of today, tomorrow and thursday.
Then im sat in maccy d's car park partaking of a cheeseburger when the bum wipe customer phones me about the job i did yesterday. He was complaining that it was expensive. 370 for adding a radiator and installing a centramag in a space it shouldnt have gone. Took me most of the day. He said he thought it would be about 150. My backs up, i take a deep breath and say fine i will itemise it out.
Now at this point i would have chewed the blokes head off. But last night i watched the millies on itv and the bloke that was on last who had his arm and two legs blown off. Hess entering the next paralympics on an arm propelled bike.
So no matter how cack my day is there is somebody else somewhere else dealing with worse.
