being married to a stubborn woman when i am stubborn as well. the latest issue (that i am dealing with from washington) is the garage door. we have one of the old wooden ones which weighs a ton and crashes down with a loud bang when closing. needless to say it does not have a safety sensor either. we decided to put a new one in. because of the low ceiling we had to go with a special opener. when the salseman came out, he told us where to put a new outlet for the motor. when they came to install the door today, guess what......the outlet is right in the way of the motor. the company is doing the right thing. they said have it moved and give them the bill. truth be told, the electrician is a friend of the family and did the work for cost of materials anyway. he also would come right over and fix it with no problem. here comes MY problem. the wife is pissed off because the salesman gave us bad information and is throwing a fit. the electrician would probably come over today and fix it, but my wife says no. she also has the next 5 days off (including today) and refuses to have to "sit around for half the day" while the work is done. mind you it is about an hours worth of work and she really has nothing to do anyway. when she works she always says, "i can't wait to just sit home and relax". wtf? it is also my job to make all the calls (being the man) which i really don't mind, but i am the go between...having to call my wife to see what she wants, then call the company to relay the info. she is italian (sorry, no offense meant) so she is prone to these fits. she will probably call me later to apologize for the whole mess. no apology is necessary as i understand her frustration, but what a head ache to my day. i hope all of you have a fantastic one....be well. and any electricians in the ny area, give me a call....lmao! |
