The Contractors...
Sep. 17th, 2002 11:23 amAre not here. It is 11:30 am. Is anyone surprised? Pathetically, I am.
Sep. 17th, 2002
Did finally show up. At 1 pm. There were a few calls throughout the morning telling me they'd be here in 'half an hour' from the time of calling. When they got here, they set out to do half a day's work and accomplished roughly half of what they set out to do.
I've noticed my contractor has a habit. Whenever I'm sort of quietly asking such questions as, "Oh, I thought you were picking up the knobs yesterday?" or, "Didn't you say the tiles would be in last week...?" he changes the subject and talks about babies. I mean, I think he earnestly likes to talk about babies, but I think it's also so much smoke screening. I can now recite all of the recent births, deaths and major life events amongst his social circle.
Friday, he says, I get my backsplash, and door knobs, and extra drawer, and... a whole host of other things. Friday.
This time I guess I won't hold my breath.
And PS, yes, my phones got fixed (I hope) yay!
