For the better part of 3 weeks, we have been searching for an AC/Heat company. To say the least, it's been rough. They are crazy busy and we understand. But get this, one of the companies (out of Benton and rhymes with Bones) I called and left messages and left messages and called (so you get the point right) called me back, gave me a price I could live with, and said, HE WOULD HAVE HIS SCHEDULE MAN CALL ME (bold on CALL ME). That was many many moons ago. Today, I get a call. Mrs. Stafford my men are at your house and we have some questions. HUH. Wait. Im at my house. Just Sloan and I. No AC men with us. Im confused. What happened to the schedule man calling me to set up a time? I return the call, guess what no one answers, imagine that, and I leave a message. Very polite I might add, which if you are reading this and you know me, it's a very rare form I know, but yet, I was polite. It's something Im working on, but anyway... back to the story. Mr. "it rhymes with BONES" Im sorry but in the time that I was waiting on your schedule man to CALL ME, (some 10 days later) we accepted another bid. I now have a unit it. Thank you, Jenny Stafford. Well guess what, I should have tried that approach weeks ago, HE CALLED RIGHT BACK. Mr. "it rhymes with BONES" was less than happy, matter of fact, I would strongly lean on mad. He tried to confirm with me that I was costing him money! Actually, it's right the opposite Mr. AC man, I was trying to give you money! I didnt say that; however, I was thinking it. This is the amazing part, I let him chew on me a bit. I was polite. I let him finish about how I was costing him and how I bumped five people of his list today and about how he didnt appreciate me and about how I could have called him (oh yes that was a good one), and I just thought to myself... REALLY. If this wasn't the funniest conversation I have had the pleasure of having, I might have unleashed the beast but I DIDNT (GO ME). I was polite. REALLY polite. I wanted to use gestures, and words, and more gestures, but I didn't. That's part of winning the war right... so I'm smirking because I do know that what you dish out and some point you will have to... well you know. So, this is my smirk for today.
