THAT'S IT I'M OUTTA HERE!!! I think we have all been here...just so fed up with all the bs that we want to run screaming to the hills...or where ever we are not at that particular moment...
when running away one must remember to watch out for obstacles...be a careful RunAwayer!!! its all fun and games til someone gets and eye poked out with a taquito...
I am standing on this particular precipice far more often than not, but I keep the insanity in check by repeating my mantra daily.....Just Another Day In Paradise .....Just Another Day In Paradise.....Just Another Day In Paradise... and thinking what ever does not kill me only makes me stronger and a whole slew of other cliche's that make my mind numb to the mundane BS associated with the remodelhell, er, uh, I mean world...
A few days ago, as I was putting the final coats of lipstick on the you can put lipstick on a pig job and leave for the day knowing that I still had a few this-n-thats left to do, the alien asked me if I could fix the laundry faucet...I smiled my best smile and said "Sure, but I won't be able to get to that today, but I can get it tomorrow." Inside my head I was screaming, "THAT'S IT I'M OUTTA HERE!!!"(see also make french toast)
I was pulling up the carpet protector on the stairs that were covered with the rattiest, CatPissedOn run of red shag that I have ever seen...or smelled...there is something inherently evil about the smell of stale CatPiss and it refused to come up. like it was CarpetBorged to the stink. as the sweat dripped from my unibrow, I cursed under my breath...that's is I'm outta here...but i stayed to finish the day. why would they have wanted carpet protector on that crappy chunk of worn down stink infused turd. Well, it was red, the favorite color of lipstick for a pig!
I think I may have finished up the job from hell with a couple of aliens that seem to want me to be there FOREVER...I am hoping the phone does not ring and I do not have to go back...but if they do call, (it did actually...they need me to go out and install one $.39 (cent) duplex outlet cover) I will say nicely, "Sure. I can come over and do what ever you need to have me do.and chase whatever imagined flaw you see While actually I am screaming, over all the other voices (i hear voices) in my head... "THAT'S IT I'M OUTTA HERE!!!"
and thinking.....

Are u your own boss? If not, then I would of said something to whoever u work for.. or they should of forewarned you.. If u are your own boss, then next time u can add on an extra % for the grossness.

ReplyDeleteI am not self employed but close to it...the problem is that in most remodels have *old* home smells...rarely do people smell the house the way you do...they must adapt to the odor...
i did not realize the carpet was so bad until i was trying to get the protector off...at that point i was down very close to the smell...
but a grossness factor % would be awesome... too bad the market is so tight that we lose jobs for a 5% difference in competitors price...
5%? I was thinkin' more like 10%.. My husband was a commercial plumbing estimator.. he would tack on an extra 10% to jobs because the school districts up here were notorious for wanting add on's after the contract was signed... they also were slow at paying!.
ReplyDeleteid love to get 10%...right now in michigan a ton of guys are getting the jobs for next to free...it is so frustrating and competitive, but u have to live...
ReplyDeletei hate doing any commercial work...particularly schools and govt buildings...
gotta love those *freebies* change orders after signing...
Yuck. That was a little gross.
