it's all in the timing

This morning when I woke up (neighborhood construction.  Bigger, better water lines? It's been three weeks.) I got sucked into the taxes.  One entry led to another until I was late getting out the door to my morning workout.   And when I got back, I didn't get my shower because the $repairperson is supposed to arrive sometime between 12 and 5pm.  So I waited.  When I got stuck in the taxes (HATE THEM!  Now they want exact numbers on how much was withheld in taxes from each of my husband's paychecks, in three month increments.  Stupid, pointless, annoying...), I played some Wii.  Arranged my plane tickets for next month.  Received a package for my neighbor.  Gave the package to the neighbor.  Cleaned up the TV room floor.

At 2:15pm, the $repairperson finally arrived.    Informed my husband, negotiated, managed to not  get them to replace the DVR again.... He was out by 2:50pm.  My shower!  At last!  "Please be done by 3pm," my husband said, "so I can hear my conference call where I am set up downstairs underneath the shower."

No problem.  10 minute... No, 7 minute shower.  I can do this.  I turn on the water, I throw my dirty clothes in the laundry... And the water stops running.  It's off.  Gone.  No water.

Now they decide to turn off the water with no notice?!?!

After the large air conditioning repair company in San Marcos jerked me around with when they would come to my house I got mad. When they tried to reschedule for the next day I said forget it, I called the little guy. He showed up when he said he would be there, to the minute. He made an estimate without me asking for several solutions to my problem. I wanted to clone him. I had never seen a repairman show up at the exact time they said they would at any previous time within my life. He called me from my driveway to make sure I was home so even if I had been in the shower I would have heard the call. I circled his name in the phone book so I would never go to another service again.
