Have you noticed it too? We all used to have one of those days once in a while where nothing went right. Nowadays, it seems they are on the increase. Perhaps it’s a side effect of global warming… Any was I digress. Today was definitely one of those days!
Really, it all began last week when the company building our conservatory cut the glass too big for the roof and had to put in some temporary stuff. A senior manager arranged to visit today to measure up for the panels. Then the shop delivering our new sofa, a modular affair, forgot half of it and arranged to deliver first thing Monday morning. We were up bright and early, but – you guessed it – no sofa. After many phone calls to the shop, warehouse and even head office it transpired that someone had loaded the van “backwards” as the driver put it and we would receive delivery about 5 pm! As we were working at that time we still have no sofa. They will deliver first thing tomorrow morning…. I think I have heard that somewhere before.
The conservatory man failed to show too. He was at a meeting and forgot the courtesy of phoning to cancel. He did not see what the problem was. That took many calls to sort out, too. He is coming first thing Thursday.
To cap it all we had to have an emergency plumber out as our new toilet cistern sprung a leak. The company that fitted the new bathroon seem to have been nothing but cowboys. what was discovered about their professional skills was quite frankly scary! I’m surprised everything hung together with no screws!
I am looking forward to tomorrow. Things must be due to improve!
Unless this is something to do with global warming after all….
