drawn and quartered

ever get that feeling when your at work? i have about 10 jobs going on at one time right now and its driving me up a wall. i kinda like the fact im busy and i have a bit of freedom to do whichever i please for the most part, but its tough when you have customers calling you expecting you to be there at a certain time and you have to tell them your really sorry but something has come up thats more important for the time being. im also physically going from place to place for the work, so its not like i can juggle all that well. i had to go to a small school for what was supposed to be a quick in and out job this morning, but every single exterior door had to be adjusted in some way. it was like 20 doors. not to quick. aaannnddd, we hired a part time guy to help us other two field guys get jobs done before winter. thing is, hes an older guy, he worked for a contractor for years. he knows his shit, but hes half assed like most contractors are. no offense, but they have a shit load of stuff to do, so they dont really give it the same care we do. i get to the school, where the part timer was earlier this week, and i see the work he did and realized i have to fix it. i understand having to take care of the company, and the companies problems. but this guy is probubly making 10 dollars more an hour then me. not cool if im juggling work and cleaning up after him. and getting paid less to do it. anyway, got that job mostly done, but i had to order some stuff for them so i will go back and finish when the stuff comes in.

i go to a new 911 building and find out that a lock is broken and they need to get into a room, and all i was supposed to do, originally, was a quick job and move on. so i had to break into the room without screwing up the new door. i get a new lock from my van and install that. do the original job and get out.

i go to a college to finish up on a job. i get there and realize there is no fixing it. so i do the best i can, call our salesman with the instructions on what i need. on to the next job.

so i said piss on it. i was 15 minutes away from the end of my day so i went and hung out with my cousin for awhile. worked an extra half hour this morning, so i didnt screw over my work at all. but it still kinda sucked.

then again, nobody else in my company said they were as busy as i was today. so that makes it all better. chalk one up for me.
