The economy can't be THAT bad...
Because roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the contractors I'm calling to come bid on condo stuff don't bother to show up!
Let's see - Monday night at least both contractors I had scheduled showed up. Tuesday night I had an electrician and a concrete guy scheduled. Electrician never showed.
Last night I had 2 concrete guys scheduled. One showed up 75 minutes late! I was meeting with my 6:45 and he stopped me in the street. I'm like "Dude - see those guys over there? *points to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jcw_da_dmg and woody_whistler who are standing by my front door with instruments in hand* They are waiting for me. You know, like I waited for you. Sorry - we'll be going with someone who keeps appointments" He was really snotty about it too. Srsly - you don't call, you just show up when you feel like it - um no. If that's how you do business we really don't need you.
The pest control guys at least have showed up on time - thank goodness for THAT. But WTF people? Do you not want our money?
