That's pretty effing rude if they called your boss' number to get you to come out. I don't mind doing side work for family or what not, but people that get my name through work I do for my boss and then try to get me to do side jobs, can F-Off. He would be pist if I took the work anyway, but thats besides the point. It's a morality issue for me.

I was at a New Years eve party at a family members. Usual crowd, some of his neighbors. Met this one dude several times. (popo). He starts asking me all kinds of plumbing questions, yadda yadda. I am humoring him with generalized answers. So he asks me if I do side work. I tell him sure, only It costs WAY more than regular time, as I am the company owner, and if you want me on a night or weekend, it'll be expensive.

He says he'll call to set a regular appointment. (Sure you will)

Dumb ass.

I worked at this Ladies house one time. she was well up into her 80's maybe even 90's. I was fixing a leak on her tub and everytime I would walk out to the truck to get something she would ask if I wanted something to eat or drink. I would refuse everytime and I could actually see the disappointment in her face. So when I got done the job she offered to fix me a sandwich and i accepted it. I sat there and talk to this lady for about 3 hrs. She know more about football hockey and baseball than any man I had ever met. When I was getting ready to leave she told me that she had 6 kids but all of them were out of state and she didn't get to see them much. After that anytime I was in her neighbor hood I would stop in there to check on her and she always would fix me a sandwich and we would sit and just chat. Like sewer ratz post she ended up passing away. I was sitting at the house the night she died and I got a call from her son. She had requested that I be a pall bearer at her funeral. I accepted. he then ask me if I would like to speak at her funeral. I declined at first but changed my mind after he kept insisting. It made me feel good that I had made such an impression in her life.

Only two devining forces have died for you. One is Jesus Christ and the other is the American soldier. One died for your soul the other died for your freedom.
