Vacation countdown

I wrote something yesterday and deleted it.
I just didn't want that energy out there.

This week is only 2 days in and boy people are awful.
And I have no email. 
Which in and of itself is a nightmare. But that story gets me riled up so we'll skip that today. Let's talk about a funny thing that went on today.

A man named Sam called a month ago and we are doing a very small project at his home tomorrow. 
He was a big flirt when we spoke. Then he wrote an email telling me I should be in radio because I have a great voice. 

As you may or may not know I wrote about this years ago and I was told in high school when I wanted to be a DJ that women can't because no man would ever listen to us because we drone.  You can read the link here. It explains it all. Yes, it explains what a weirdo I was as a kid and hell I still am, who am I kidding? 😅

So you can see after reading the above how funny it is to me to constantly be told I give good phone as I like to say, and that my voice is pleasant.

But, back to ole Sam. 
Sam is working with a company that does only grout work. They are very very good and we recommend them all day long. I have spoken to the guys there many times but I have yet to meet them.

Sam was given our name by this grout company and told to call Peggy. 
She will be able to help you and schedule you. 
Sam found a reason to call me many times over the last month.
Only the first call was necessary.

As I do daily I call everyone that is on the calendar for the following day. I call them to remind them we are coming, to be sure their schedule hasn't changed and if they need any help with what they are expected to do before we arrive. 

I really did not wish to call Sam. I know what a big flirt he is and while it is fun to banter with him, I have a busy day. So I emailed Sam.
Sam read the email and called me. 
Oh brother. Too bad caller ID showed his gov't office and not his name.

He had no questions just wanted to chat. 
Oh for the love of God I don't have time for this.
I tell him if he doesn't have any questions we will just see him tomorrow.
I tell him I'm very busy.

But no, he told me he asked George, the man from the grout company if he had met me. George has not. 
I said to Sam," have you ever seen those movies where the sex phone operator sounds all sexy on the phone but to see her she is hideous, huge, homely, warts on her crooked nose? That's me Sam. 

He just laughed. He didn't believe me. I tried. Then I think should I tell him how damn old I am maybe that will help?  But then I remembered we discussed that once before. Damn it.

Finally, I had to tell him that I was flattered but this is a work environment so Rick will be there tomorrow at 12pm and he will call when he is heading your way.

He wouldn't get off the phone. Right then someone helped me by calling my cell phone. I had no plans on picking it up but thought I'd use it. I said, "Oh there is the other line I have to go. We'll see you tomorrow"

Oh, my goodness. While that is flattering, it's stupid.  
Rick called me after he left his 1st job and I told him about this and he laughs.
He said, "hey if you can make more money go for it."
Gee thanks, Rick. What I have always wanted to do.
He laughed and asked if I wanted him to say anything.
Oh no, since no one knows I am the owner and think I am your office manager let it go. But I bet he says something to you. 

Rick said he probably will say something. Oh to be a fly on that wall right?

Moral of the story really is this was the only nice person I have spoken to on the phone in the last week and he's annoying. Can't win I guess.

23 more days until vacation.
