Armageddon
Filed Under Old Diary |
After a sleepless night I woke and readied myself for this morning’s battle. With mobile phone in one hand and rent contracts in the other I faced off against the evil Ray White real estate whore-house. Half an hour later, they opened. Typical, does no one in this god forsaken town get up in the mornings?
After talking (in a VERY nice, civil voice) to the first person, I was referred onto the second (funny that). Person #2 then proceeded to record details until her overseer entered. I was then referred to afore said overseer. Overseer proceeded to tell me I was wrong wrong wrong. To which I replied, “I thought this might happen, so I brought the lease contract”.
“Oh”, he said.
“Yes”, I said, somewhat smugly. From this point on I started to have a good day. Marvellous what you can do with somebody else’s signature, isn’t it?
With that skirmish ended, Ben the Bastard mounted his trusty (rusty?) steed and powered off into the distant in a cloud of dirt (and smoke). Onto the next castle, to meet with Queen Hypatia and her fool.
Things were almost quiet at work when I got there… some thing’s wrong. Ahh that’s better, Tas has arrived, with his usual bundle of things he has broken since yesterday. I suppose whirling around like that all the time will eventually cause SOMETHING some damage.
After that, things got decidedly worse. Clients, gerbils, phone calls, installations, problems, pick ups, drop offs, you name it, it happened. I even think the secretary was shot! (I’m not kidding! She disappeared before lunch and has left for an unspecified duration). WHAT A DAY!!!
Home latish, found some problems with my accounting ability, I seem to have forgotten to get $1000 off someone. Silly me, my life must be far too exciting! Half a (dead) baby lamb for dinner, side order of vegies, no pepper sauce thanks. All done by 9:00pm! I’ll get around to the dishes in a while. I promise!
