I got an email the other day about my car lease and a serious fault in my car that needed attention. It looked completely legit, perfectly written and strategically worked around not naming make, model or license plate. Only… I don’t lease a car… 🤷🏻‍♂️ But AI is giving the scammers a massive boost.

I’m not taking any more days off, it’s their problem now. From March next year I have one day in the month off, so don’t have the spare days to keep obliging to them, I clearly warned them that they had to do as agreed and they failed, not me. 😖

And half of what had to be done inside hasn’t been done, so there’s going to be at least one more day of this shit. 🤬 Furious. 😤😖

Do wonder if the painters are going to clean up their mess. What a nightmare.

Oh. Well. It might smell better. 🤣

Don’t even know what that is. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ #FuckAutoCorrect

(And regret ever having done it, it’s so disgusting, don’t even understand why I did it.)

And the painters are smoking in my garden. I very much disapprove of that. 😖🤮 Why do so many people still smoke?! I don’t get it. Yes I smoked, a lot, but knowing what we know today and with the price of tabasco, no way I still would now.

Will need to air out the house though, as it now smells like a smokers home. 🤮

Plumbing guy still working. Hope he’s done soon as I’d like to get some lunch. Quality of the work looks ok-ish. I think. So far.

When making electronic wiring looms, each colour cable had to be in a straight line, brackets evenly spaced, and all screws straight. It wasn’t OCD, it was quality. The fantastic teacher we had was clear about it - quality equals safety and precision. Worthy lessons.

As example - If we made a mock electrical installation with PVC pipe, the flathead screws of the brackets, had to line up with the pipes. Crosshead screws had to be straight. Cable ties or brackets had to be exactly evenly spaced between them.

If that birdy is actually typing, it would probably result in a story similar to something my writing skills would produce. 😂

Though people today are polite, non of the other things have been the case so far with the people that are working on this renovation project. The window guys were arseholes and left a terrible mess. Remains to be seen how things are left today. 🫤

Thing is, yes it’s been 30 or so years, but when I was in school and learning about doing electrics in a place where someone lives or works, I was taught that curtesy, cleanliness, quality of work and cleaning up after you leave, were of outmost importance.

Well well, the plumber arrived, briefly, as he is off again “to get his tools”. Why he didn’t bring them first time around, I don’t know. And he reeks of cigarettes, it’s like he made incense from the contents of an ashtray and lit it up, it lingers even when he leaves. 🤮

He warned that likely, at best, only the gas line will be done today. What a fucking bullshit planning. 😖

Guy from the afternoon appointment showed up, his first job was cancelled and he hoped to be able to start mine. But the plumber needs to move a gas line. The same plumber that didn’t do this yesterday at his other address. He hasn’t seen the plumber yet.
