Gloom, Despair, and Agony on ME!

Deep dark depression...excessive misery...

Ok, not really but not such a great start to the week. We just came back from the big job in Broken Arrow that has been on contract for almost a full year. We were told two weeks ago that today they would be ready. We went by this weekend to check, and found they had about 500 sq. feet ready. Whoopie! There are over 15K square feet on this project. It is supposed to be done by January 1, 2009. AAahahahahahahahaha!!!! Foolish mortals.

Bill and I talked about it, and decided the only way to rock these fine gentlemen off high center was to just show up and start pushing. Unfortunately, they have bigger equipment, so our baby push was met with a big ole backhoe. Damn. Here is what really sucks. We have turned down about twenty five thousand dollars worth of work that we could have gotten done in the next two weeks. Since they have lied to us, and they are not going to be ready till the END of next week we are screwed. Not only did we turn down the work, but they are going to cause us to be unable to meet the project deadline. I sure hope they like payint those liquidated damages, cause I sure ain't gonna. That will give us 3 days to work and then the Thanksgiving holiday. I swear. Why do people have to be dishonest? Why couldn't they just tell us they werent't ready? We are trying to contact the other jobs and see if we can beg them to let us do the work.

Some days it does NOT pay to get out of bed. Damn...
