Well, this morning I am sitting here at home waiting on a repairman to come replace our airconditioner motor. We have cool air but two nights ago it wasn't blowin' shit. 85 degrees in our bedroom... kinda makes it hard to sleep. So I call this guy to make an appointment yesterday to fix the damn thing once and for all. I ask him when a good time is for him to come and he says whenever is good fo me. OK, then I figure his schedule is clear so I say how bout 8 tomorrow morning. Now, I figure this is a hard workin' regular joe, but I hear him rustle around some papers acting like he's lookin through his book or something and he kinda grumbles and mumbles, so I say how bout 9. He still makes a couple of incoherent noises and says "How bout 10?" So I say, "10am??? You can't get your lazy ass up any earlier than that??? I can go to a bar at 5pm, close it down, and still be at work at 8am....and I drive over half a freakin' hour! Jeez, dude I'm sorry when you go drinkin' the night before, you can't get up before 9:30.", in my head. Then he says, "OK, between 9 and 10." Man.... I sure wish I could just pick what time I come to work and give you a "guesstimate" on when I'll be there. So far, its 9:25 in the AM and he's still not here.
