off the wagon
The guy we hired to install the new windows bailed on us. He made an appointment for 9 AM yesterday, and at 9:30 he called, saying it was supposed to rain and he wasn't coming. This was just after we took down all the curtains, moved all the plants, took town paintings, the entire cabinet that held my parents ashes and other treasures, and moved the computer...all so he could work without issue and without fucking up our shit.
My husband yelled at him for awhile, but there's nothing to be done. He got sick of talking to the asshole who just kept saying he wasn't prepared for the work, it was going to rain, in an endless loop, so my husband hung up on him.
We didn't hear from him today, and I have NO idea when he will get here to do the windows. He has no right to be upset. He fucked up, not us.
Oh, and we took out all the flannel and foam that we had stuffed around the windows to keep them sealed, and now there is a huge gap around all the panes and they are rattling even worse than before. It's even more like having open windows here now.
I am so fucking pissed. Just beyond pissed. I've moved past pissed to some voidy numbness where there are no emotions at all. EVERYONE we have bought something from in the last month has tried to screw us.
You wouldn't think you could get screwed by an asshole, but it happens all the time.
This country is in the toilet. Economically. Socially. Spiritually. Someone needs to give it a good flush!
