Unlucky then so lucky
« on: April 30, 2009, 05:08:47 pm »
Was doing one of my commercials the other day , just had the wierdest feeling that when i went in to invoice i was going to be asked to change to a 2 weekly instead of a weekly , and it went that way , how freaky !
I said ok but if the job takes longer as a result i will be charging more , this was agreed .
As i walked to the van i was in a bit of a huff , to say the least .

As i got near the van i saw this chap , suited and booted , waiting for me , he asked me if it was my firm , i said yes , he continued to say that he had some office windows that needed a clean , in my current mood my reply was going to be , yeh i bet there on the 4th floor , theres only 3 of them and you want them done for F. all !
He then give me his card and says there is some other glass that will need a look at too !
Lucky for me i did not get the comment out before i read his card !
The job is already in the bag , and whats more , he told me to up the quote a bit !

Do you have this job, or did he say this just because he wants you to quote so he can use a guy he likes ???

Had this happen just last week, have heard nothing since  ::)

Not trying to but a dampener on it but just thought I would add it to keep the post real

Deirdre Barlow has been called many things but "a little ray of sunshine" isn't one of them.

Little blond girl is cute though ;D

WW, you obviously didn't see the 1st set of pictures put up...the one with a cute little blond girl (pride and joy of daddy) and in the background was corrie with Deidre Barlow's boatrace... ::)
