nice words of wisdom and a bitchy SOUL


i was just lookin for a photo online to go along with my coffee/ tired/ bitchy topic, and the above link is what i came across... a long with the above photo. i was very pleased with both.

it sure makes me not want to complain. well, for now. y'all know complaining is my nature :)) i wouldn't know how to act if i wasn't complaining about something.

so anyhow, to recap my extremely BO-RING day......

i sat --- a LOT...
and i WAITED.. ALOT
and my mood grew angrier by the minute
and then the HOUR
and i cleaned house
i ate for the sake of stuffing my face for the first time in a long time
and i sat some more
then i got heartburn
and i got TIRED
and hubby went to work at like 2
and i got more tired
and i got more angry
and soulkid came home from school
and i had probably checked the clock three hundred times throughout the day by now
and the homeowner called to see if the a/c guys had come-- and i said NO--
even though, i expected them by NOON
they DID finally show up ---- AT 540 PM !
soulman got home at 550 pm
he is cooking on the grill, and workin on our printer
i am sittin on my ass drinkin coffee
the a/c guys are workin on the a/c
soulkid is primpin on her hair

and THAT is life in soulland on this tuesday..

what happened in yours???

i told ya i just can't NOT complain.. even when i try not to
*SIGH*

Cheryl said...

Did the A/C get fixed, or is a miracle too much to ask for?

SOUL said...

it's 8:02... they are stilllllll here... we shall see what happens. let's just hope it goes well. k?
hope y'all have a good night.

coffee goin out to both of you--- :))

Brad said...

Hon, Give a heads up to the homeowner. We don't roll a truck after 5:00 with out charging time and a half. (we're paying are guys time and a half..) If she called and bitched they may take that as license to charge her. Hopefully the little b@stards getting it up in running tonight. If you get this in time you or soulman should go to the attic and check out the work before they leave. Check where they have the condensate line draining and DO NOT SIGN the work order/invoice. They need to get that from homeowner if they have to have it. - sorry to ramble - You seem to know this stuff - just wanna help.

SOUL said...

howdy brad--
thanks for the tips--
but yep-- we know better than to sign a thing-- not our house.. not our bill-- not our signature :))

it's about ten after 9 now, they left maybe twenty minutes ago or so-- the air seems to be working -- for now-- but for some reason-- they seem to think there may still be a leak-- hmmm.. why am i NOT surprised???
they say they will be back on thursday to check. peachy. just peachy.
they would be back tomorrow but i have an appointment so no can do.

anyhow-- about the price? we already warned them about that-- and how our guy would be better and more reliable, and all that jazz-- they chose these guys... so more power to em. if they get charged two grand for this job and God knows what else -- well.. they should learn a lesson. you'd think. the other guy had the parts-- and a time estimate-- and really a decent price for what it is. but-- we've been through this before--obviously they haven't. so of course it sounds like a lot of money at first.

anyhow... we'll just wait and see for now.

next on my list is to get back to the rats--and just hope the a/c continues to work.

g'nite

Jessica said...

So.....did he A/C guys expect you guys to feed them, since it was dinnertime and all???

SOUL said...

hmmm jess-- i sure hope not-- cuz we didn't.

the shame of it all !!! :((

hope your day was good to you!

Anonymous said...

ooh it's the coffee bean! ha ha..not in that order...but anyways... wth??? hope they fix that a/c ...as long as they have taken...

Angie Weid said...

Geez, I had no idea getting the a/c fixed would be so complicated.

My day, well, back to my emotionally draining client. Whew! The day started out with her threaten to arrest me for donating her clothes yesterday, though she hadn't worn them in decades! Definitely one of my much more interesting projects.

desert dirt diva said...

sounds like ur havin more fun then me, i just sitting on my very big a&*watching it get bigger whinning about dave......

Moohaa said...

That story on the other site was good. It's a good concept. But it doesn't make the crappy times any easier.

I'm glad the a/c is working. I sure hope it continues to do so!

Karen said...

I liked that story you linked to Soul. After much pondering about whether I'm a carrot, an egg or coffee beans, i came to the conclusion that I'm a tea bag and I'll let you work that out for yourself.

Hope you've a/c now because not having it is my definition of HELL.

The Real Mother Hen said...

Ahhhh
So did the AC fixed? I was so eager to know... so I read the comments above :)

Have you caught the "animal" in the attic yet? Or maybe in one of the previous posts? Ok go reading them now :)

The Real Mother Hen said...

Hhmm... can't seem to find your update about the animals that ate your pipes... have you found theml... and BBQ them? :)

SOUL said...

yankee-- i thought of her too ! what a perfect cup that would be for YOU! :))

you know , y'all will be the first to know of any probs with the a/c.. for now- i'm just hoping it's good.

laterz

SOUL said...

angie--
sounds like you need a CYA contract !
if you don't already have one
(CYA=cover your ass) :))

hope that works out well..
i suppose with the d's permission, and her being the one giving the "orders/directions" you will be fine.
good luck with that.. but yep-- i'd be writin somethin up, to be signed by the client from here on out-- hmmm...

happy humpday!?

SOUL said...

D-- where's dave-- how long? go cry in your beer with smocha-- not really-- just go DRINK with her-- and party your free asses off !!

fun? here? hmmm... not really-- hopefully soon though. i ate out of stress yesterday :(( i so don't do that.

happy humpday!

SOUL said...

hey kelly--
i liked that story too--- but as you can see-- it didn't change me.. i am still "doug and wendy whiner" :))
haha

anyhow-- did i tell you i finished your book?
i think it is sooo awesome that you wrote a book.. i thought it was awesome before i read it-- but really-- sooo cool !!! good for you!

hope your day is good !

SOUL said...

GYPSEEEEEEE HI-LO

long time no see-- or so it seems at least--

so, i'm sposed to figure out why you're a tea bag?? LOL.. i don't have the think power for that one.
:)) i only hope it's a good thing.

and yes no a/c is HELL.. but really we did get really lucky-- so far--- we only had one really horrible day in the heat-- that we sweated and stuck to the furniture :))
all i can say is
it just BETTER be right this time.
we shall see.

happy humpday!

SOUL said...

MOTHA !

nope we haven't caught him yet-- we're tryin tho---
but even if or when we do-- i really don't think i'll be grillin the little guy-- well unless YOU wanna come over and eat it??

Rebecca said...

boo hiss. I looked up from my work, and here it was 3:33, so thought I'd fire you off a line. The clocked move a minute in the meantime, AND you're an hour behind. Dang. Now I'm gonna read your post :P

Rebecca said...

Don't you just hate a day that start off with you fuming, and ends that way, too?!?! Gah. But at least the AC was repaired :)

Portia said...

EE said...
