There are few things I dislike more than sitting around, waiting for someone to show up and having no idea when and if he actually will. When I last talked about our washer/dryer machine that which is the fritz, I mentioned that the service guy who came out didn’t have the correct part with him to fix the machine that day but set up another appointment for a repairman to come out today, between 1 – 2 pm. I know these people get bogged down and probably have 5 other calls to deal with each day – maybe even more (although I somehow doubt it since that would almost certainly be far too much work in one day…but I won’t go into that rant right now!) As I sit here now at 2:15pm, I have to start wondering if this guy will show up.
We’re at a seriously sad state as far as laundry goes now, having decided to just hold out on washing anything until today. After all, it was just another week…Now if no one appears today, I fear it will be another week before the machine is repaired….and we’re almost definitely going to need to find a laundromat before then. Stefan and I are generally clean people, don’t get me wrong. It’s the 100 pound furry black beast we refer to as Ayla that causes the problem! We’ve actually reached a stage here this winter where we need to vacuum the house at once daily to keep the dirt down. It’s just terrible.
I have to say that if I had a job outside of the house, I would be rather agitated about this today. Thankfully I have plenty of other things to keep me occupied – but I also can’t just leave the house or go work on anything outside since I won’t hear the doorbell…hostage to the repairman – priceless.
