It has just been a bad day, all day long...
The FedEx guy woke me up banging on the door way too early. For heavens sake, Mark was in the office, and it wasn't like the first time he has delivered here... he could have just gone in the shop instead of waking me up!
Seth almost knocked me down getting to the door to get his new laptop. He was so excited. He had it about 30 minutes before it locked up on him. What happened was he put in a password, confirmed the password, wrote down the password and then couldn't get back in. We tried everything, we called Levi the guru, no luck, we called Dell Tech, nothing worked. The Dell tech finally decided that something must be wrong with the hard drive and put in a work order to have someone come out.
This evening Mark sat down to mess with it again and typed in a variation of Seth's password and got in !!! The dufus had written it down wrong.
Okay, one problem fixed.
In the meantime, I am arguing with the bank over a stupid $14.00 charge.
We got a call from a church that had asked us to come do sound for a OUTDOOR block party next week. Mark had given them a really good price, $600. less than he would charge anyone else. The guy had the nerve to offer Mark $200. to bring $30,000. worth of PA equipment, 3 men, work all day long in one hundred degree temperatures... $200.00... yeah, right.
Then we went to Walmart.. my weekly drudge.
While we were there we got another call telling us someone (I won't name names) had come in and undercut a job we were bidding on so low that it wouldn't even make sense to go do it for that price.
And there we were at Walmart, it's a 104 freaking degrees outside,we lost two jobs, I've got to apologize to the girl at the bank that I almost made cry and it has just been an all-round shitty day.
I hate days like that and I hate that you lost two jobs especially the one that someone underbid on. I see that so much in the photography business. My prices are low because I base them on my experience, but there are others who charge so low it doesn't make any sense to do it. It can be so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had such a crappy day.
ReplyDeleteI hate those days. Why is it that people want you to work for them but are ok with you starving to death?
ReplyDeleteI really do hate people. There is only a short list of the ones I don't.
FRUSTRATING!
