The ongoing drama that is Agnews.
Yes, despite *looking* all done, there were some bits that 'didn't fit', and were to be replaced gratis ASAP .. And because the damn thing cost so much, there's no way i'd be brushing it off with a 'that's ok, half done is good enough !'. But the fireplace was installed a month ago, and nobody's gotten back to me.
I spoke to a girl on Friday, who was going to get back to me Monday ( this was our 2nd call, the first one went completely unreturned ). Today is Tuesday, I call.
She says
{dramatic pause}
"I'm sorry ? I'm drawing a blank here?"
Me: "Pardon ?"
Me: { in a deadpan, I give up voice, no punctuation } "I called you on Friday, it's been a month since the job was done, and Colin was on a job but you were going to check it out and get back to me yesterday?"
"Oh yes, sorry about that, it's been one of those weeks" ( it's Tuesday, remember )
Anyway, f-fwd a bit, and it seems i've slipped through the cracks again, so a guy comes out here to re-measure again today. I have no trouble slipping into a 'tired and haggard' skin to greet him.
And because I like a lashing of good to go with the dreary .. here's some more of today, after I managed to pick myself up off the floor:
The beercarton robot is still going strong, so I decided to jazz it up. It now looks a bit like a tele, and C. obviously thought so too. Enter our first puppet theatre ;)
And the deck, the deck, the deck ..
I think he will be finished tomorrow, oh glorious day .. it's looking fab. Maybe now I can find out who my 'anon' commenter is that says s/he's coming over for vino. They obviously know me, and yes, a christening is a must ! :)
