There are a few things I'd like to accomplish today, most of them involving yard work.
The landscaper that was supposed to stop by last week to give me an estimate on cleaning up the front yard never did. When I was at Jiffy Lube getting my oil changed he called and asked if he could come early, wondering if it mattered if I were home. I told him I'd be a while since Jiffy Lube was backed up and to come on out. He said he'd call me in the afternoon to let me know his impressions.
Well, I don't know if he ever showed up, but he certainly never called me. He had at least three different phone numbers to access me at so whatever cockamamie excuse he had at not showing doesn't fly with me. Incidentally, it was someone I found through Service Magic. I contemplated leaving him a bad rating and a nasty comment on his page, but I restrained myself.
I've resigned myself to cleaning up the yard alone. If I were slightly less antisocial I'd go across the street and ask Lady with Huge Dog who that country bumpkin' who cleans up her yard is. I'm sure he'd charge a helluva lot less than anyone who has ads posted on the internet. He doesn't even look like the sort who knows how to use a computer.
Eh. Wish me luck.
