WALLED OUT

We had planned to replace a section of our perimeter wall today. It is being levered up by the roots of a palm tree just on the other side.

We chose a guy who was reccomended by a friend and he seemed competent enough. But a series of 'administrative' lapses got us bothered.

We were 'in line to be done' and were waiting for a number of weeks when he called last Wednesday and wanted to come the next day.

We said that we were going away for the weekend and didn't want the wall open while we were gone.

He wasn't too happy about that but agreed to start between 8-9 this morning.

After a no show by 10, we pulled the plug.

He wasn't happy about that either. But, we didn't spend too much time in debriefing or getting and giving feedback as managers are supposed to do.

Mostly we said 'goodbye and thanks'.

Click.

I think that he will come to realize that he is as well off rid of us as we are rid of him. We would be nagging and whining creatures all worried about progress and dates and things like showing up.

Now, we have to find another contractor.

Oh well.
