Predict My Uber Day

7.00am (me snoring)

Phone rings. Me (growly and half asleep): Yo?

Customer whose roof I'm going to today (CWR): May I speak to Jenny?

Me (trying to wake up): Yeah, that's me.

CWR: When will you be out here on my roof?

Me (checking clock): Umm...*8? 8.30?

CWR: Okay.

Hangs up. Me, rolling over to catch that extra five.

8.15 Me in shower. Phone rings. I thought maybe RB since he's cking on materials. Ran out of shower.

CWR: Hello?

Me (dripping on my floor): Yes?

CWR: When will you be out here?

Me: As soon as possible. We have to get materials and other stuff.

CWR: Okay.

8.30 Me getting ready. Phone rings.

Me: Yes?

CWR: Did you get the materials yet? When are you coming out?

This man is 67 years old. I want to cry.

Me: My partner's picking up the material. We'll be out there soon. Like maybe 9.15. But it could be around 9.30. I can't say because I'm not picking up the material.

CWR: Okay. What color will the shingles be?

Me: (pause) Same color as the shingles on your house now. (It's a VERY SMALL REPAIR JOB).

CWR: What color will the ridgevent be?

Me: White like before.

CWR: Okay.

Hangs up. 8:45. Phone rings.

Me (in my best cheerful voice): May I help you?

CWR: My wife wants brown ridgevent.

Me: Okay.

CWR: When will you be out here?

Me: (smiling through my clenched teeth) I'm on my way.

CWR: Will you have the brown vents?

Me: No, my partner is getting the materials. I'll let him know to pick the right color up, okay? See you in a bit.

In the truck. Phone rings. I don't want to answer. I really don't. But it's like the horror movie with the door creaking and I have to go check it out.

Me: Yes?

CWR: Did you talk to your partner? Is he bringing the brown ridgevent out?

Me: Yes.

CWR: When will he be here?

Me: (laughing) I don't know.

CWR: Will you be here soon?

Me: Of course. But I can't do anything anyway, till my partner shows up.

CWR: Oh. When will...

Me: I'm driving so I can't talk. See you when I get there.

I'm now at the convenience store getting drinks. The phone rang. It's CWR. I sat in my truck, drinking my morning coffee. I've decided to waste some time blogging instead. Why? Because I don't want to go to work today.



Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

Oh Jenn. I'm a total control freak, but even I'm not that bad. I'm so sorry. That is so frustrating.

UPDATE:

THE WIFE JUST CALLED. She wants me to fax my liability insurance to her office. Okay, I want to kill myself now.

Off I go.

Mo said...

Oh Jenn... sending happy thoughts, good thoughts and lots of patience your way.

vince said...

These are the kinds of clients that, if I have plenty of work, will be told politely that I won't be doing the work for them. If I can catch this before I agree to do the work, I will make sure I don't get the job.

Much patience your way as well.

LadyZannah said...

Oh man, I feel your pain Jenn. Some customers are placed on earth to try your patience.
Hope your weekend is good. :)

DBD said...

I work with 2 people who are like that.

I drink a lot of wine.

I'm sorry your day started that way. Hopefully it's over now and you are home with a lovely glass of wine and a wonderful weekend to look forward to.

I work at a local bank as a telephone receptionist. It's tough being polite and cheerful all day! By the time I get home I some days I just want to snarl. Needless to say I don't answer the phone when it rings at home.

Gennita said...

Hey Vince,
Wish I could say 'get lost' too but I needed the job. Beggars can't be chooses, I guess, huh.

Gennita said...

Yes, girlfriends, I was good all day and tonight I vegetated with wine and video. Tomorrow, I go back for more punishment. Wahhh.
