What a day !!
« on: July 20, 2011, 06:29:52 pm »
Booked a 4 story E.O.T for an agency I work for very infrequently,normal story,only got so much in their budget,need it doing yesterday.
House was 3 years old max,fitted out with expensive woollen berber type carpet,place had been trashed,don't think whoever lived there owned a vac,let alone used one.
Took me 4 and a half hours,top 2 rooms were beyond it,no matter what I did I couldn't get it clean,used really strong mix of Ultrapac.
Noses of the 3 flights of stairs,stair treads,and the small sections between stairs were black,covered in spots,blu tac,various felt pen marks.
Came close to closing the door and taking the keys back,it was only the fact I have never walked,and I don't like being beaten kept me there,and the ££ I suppose which was still pretty good.
Phone kept ringing throughout job.

Did some work for a recruitment company in Huntingdon,their Milton keynes office called me today would I be prepared to drive out there and do the carpets in that office,again won't go into price details,but it makes the 3 hour round trip worthwhile.
Diary is full again next week,first time ever I have worked 6 day weeks 3 in a row.
Going all out,and just taking everything that comes along,whoring myself to pay the tax man

Usually when I am stressing about something,had a call from Woodbridge,asking if I needed anything ?
And the call from that other place,couldn't park outside the property either,so had to lug everything a few hundred yards,then run back for the diary,which is falling to bits,as it keeps flying off the passenger seat,had a deer run out in front of my yesterday,lucky I have abs,or we would have been eating it
