First day today was going to train him up and show him the work this afternoon when he finished work.
I got a text mid morning "can't come I've not got enough petrol"
Already this was testing my patience.
So I explained that we'd work together and I'd give him some money to call at the garage on the way home.
So he said "I'll come if you want then"
I had to bite my lip at that one
Gets a call, "I've just taken a workmate home first and then run out of petrol" all this despite knowing he couldn't do both trips.
Think he wanted me to pick him up.
Just told him fair enough I'm continuing work.
His soft hearted sister came put of work to get him some
petrol and I get another call asking if he could come.
So we did less than half the houses I'd planned and he walked home with less than half what he would have.
Afterwards I let him have it and told him a few home truths.
He said he wants to do the work himself next month but we'll see.
So yes it is causing me grief already
