amazingkevin Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I never learn. The customer (landlady) wants something ,but do i get all the pertinent info , No,So i suffer. You'd think she'd would offer it as much as i should ask for it so were both to blame but i suffer the most.She wanted a key holder for two just like the fancy letter "R" i made for her before.That was it besides the height and width.So i do it up in plain wood "blO" the base and letter at the same time beings there both different color woods.Then i text the finished project and she now wants it brite blue.Ok ,Stop the world i want to get off.I cant paint the letter blue with out getting it on the base so i paint the whole shebang blue and the letter white.What other choice do i have .It doesn't come apart..I text her the picture and she says what happened.Long story short i have to make ANOTHER one.Good grief charlie brown.lolI did try to paint the letter blue but with out the sides of the letter blue it will be a sore thumb in her prestige office.Back to 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Guy Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I had a crappy day too so you have company. $400 car repair - big rain and water in the basement - more rain to come later tonight. It should have rained out west not here. Life goes on and the sun will come up in the morning. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 It happens.... they even have a tee - shirt. The important thing is to realize that there is a tomorrow and that indeed it happens and by golly if it happens again tomorrow I will just have to have another beer! Sorry to hear that you had a difficult day my friend. Can not avoid having a few of them, just try not to have very many hehe. Some days even doing exactly as the customer wanted it wrong and there is nothing you can do to avoid it. Grin Bear it make a new one and sell the other for more than she is willing to give you.

Gordster Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yes Kevin,you just kind of have to give yourself a shake and it will improve. Had one of those days this week also. Computer was freezing up. Saw was breaking blades. Even the cat followed me all over the place meowing at me. That darn thing usually sleeps for nine hours and stands up and stretches and sleeps nine more hours on the other side. Just have to grin and bear it lol. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
