Winding Down
Today was busy, busy, busy...had an appointment at 9:30 this AM with an association in Mission Hills (they're having the Nabisco Dinah Shore LPGA golf tournament in Mission Hills this week )...we originally gave them a sealing proposal in 1988 but never did any work for them... and guess what? A big rig spilled it's load on IS 10 near the Outlet Stores and traffic was backed up all the way to Beaumont...I was on the freeway for well over two hours and 1/2 hour late for the appointment...even though the two men I met said they understood, one of them said in closing "We didn't want to see Michelle Wie anyway "...bummer.
The rest of the morning and part of the afternoon was filled with " I need it now " telephone calls and my work scheduling plans have changed...again. We had several more complaint calls...one from the sealing project we've just finished (someone was doing wheelies in front of my house and tore up the new seal...we need it fixed)and another from a lady in an association we're doing next week (we said on the notice we would be sealing today...where were we? And what am I going to do with my car when you're sealing in front of my house?).
On top of all of this I was trying to set up my new Dell Computer (what a joy to use), answering phone calls, scheduling work for tomorrow and answering e-mails...I finally said "I'm out of here" and left around 3:15 PM...it rained almost the entire way home.
Yesterday I mentioned a carne asada seminar in my blog...when I was leaving the office the boss told me not to schedule anything for tomorrow afternoon...he was planning on having a carne asada get together around noon and wanted everyone there...I commented "oh, no ! Tomorrow is Good Friday and Catholics are supposed to abstain from eating meat on Good Friday". "Yeah, right" he replied...I wonder how that's going to go over with the guys...most of them are Latino and Catholic.
Take care, have fun and see you soon.
