Shittiest Day Of Work In A Long Time
I am so excited that today is finally over with. I stayed up until 3 something this morning even though I had to get to work early to take an asshole customer to his job in order for us to get the job. I woke up before my alarm clock so that I'd for sure be awake to get there in time. I get there and ask the guy if he's ready to go and he's like "No, I need to wait for Lonnie to get here to talk to him." That kind of defeats the purpose of me having to get there early off the bat. Lonnie gets there a few minutes later and he starts pleading with him to lower the price of the job before I take him to work. The car is a total heap of shit and him and I discuss all that is wrong with it on the ride over. I bust my ass working on it all day because every time that I touch one of the plastic pieces it breaks since the car is 14 years old and has been sitting for years. I also put a set of spark plug wires on it which were no good so I had to do it over again. The customer gets there at 5 and I am putting it back together and we discuss the parts under the hood that broke and how they won't hurt anything and I test drive the car to verify that I fixed it and we discuss that the temperature gauge doesn't work and I go home at 6:15. I hadn't gotten out of my truck yet and Lonnie calls me asking me to come back to work because the customer is claiming that I broke everything that we discussed as being broken prior trying to get money taken off of his bill. I get there and the guy shuts right up and leaves and it just amazes me how fucked up people are. That's why he's a fucking telemarketer at Omni Financial though. I also had to do U-joints in a Jeep today and as soon as I press one of them out somehow the yoke of the driveshaft snaps in half which I have never seen or done in as long as I've been a mechanic. So I had to drive to the junkyards and hope to find something to work. Thankfully I did but it was a huge mess. Also I'm getting sick so I'm not too happy about feeling miserable all day to boot. I have had the worst migraine in a long time even after taking some BC's and I'm running a fever and can barely bend over because of my back. It's exactly the way that Lonnie's and Dan's last sickness started last week though so I think it's my turn. Just sitting here feels miserable at the moment. So that's all. It was a day that felt like I treaded in water as fast as I could but never got anywhere.
