Are these tell, tell signs that I am ready to retire??

I am really glad when people call with a cancelation.

I get upset when the phone rings.

What do you want? Is usually my first question.

I hang up the phone real quick in that half a second grace period, before the sale person picks it up.

I refuse to book mumbles.

Under no circumstances will I book a job with anybody that does not speak English or Hebrew. Urdu is no exception.

I will not spend more than 25 minutes on the phone with people that do not speak above mentioned languages. Grunts and or dances are not accepted as a job description.

When the first question they ask is: “How much?” My response is “how much you got?”



Or could it be that I’m just too sensitive?

 

[KevinL]

I've always been like that on the phone. What's wrong with that?

 

[Able 1]

Most likely you are just racist. . Common for folks like you..

You forgot to put sMarty on Ofer's computer beneath that rant!

Chill out, go spend some time with the horses, they don't get upset about stuff like this.

You just need a little break....maybe you should come to the beach on the other side of the US....and do it in April during the Experience and Mikey Fest

what are mumbles?

- " to speak in a low indistinct manner, almost to an unintelligible extent; mutter."

The people that talk to you non stop for about ten minutes, by the end of which, you have no clue what they were saying .

O.K. Willy you got me intrigued. I tried to Goog it with no success.
Translation please.

For once, what did poor Marty have to do with this?
The problem with spending time with the horses, is that if I do, my wife wants me to also clean all the poop. Though I have to admit that I and the horses seem to like the same beer.

Nice, Mark. Post some perv shots of the leathery old bats in bikinis for Bob.

 

[Willy P]

Will you be coming to my Bar Mitzvah? My rugby team captain wants to have one for me ever since I talked to him about my great Grandmother .....

 

[rwcarpet]

I'm there, been there for a while. In fact, I HAVE to go out and clean a cancellation from Mo0nday (too cold and snowy). I don't even deal with price shoppers anymore.

i gots an ex that lives right close there.....i'm sure she fits that description quite well.....

 

[Desk Jockey]

You're a cold blooded dog bawb.

If she were on fire would you piss on her to put her out?

 

[jcooper]

OMG... Put your shoes back on!

I am really glad when people call with a cancelation.

Me too! It's like super bonus time off, unexpected...

If you are doing everything yourself, sooner or later you burn out. It's too much. Last time it happened to me, I bought a tm! Now the wife helps with the phone and booking etc... It's sooo much better AND she charges more than me!

If your feeling that way now(Jan.) imagine how bad it's going to be come busy time!

Absolutely.
Its Gefilte fish and Manishevitz on the house.

Though, there's the little issue and please don't think I am a stickler for detail, however you can only have a Bar Mitzvah, once you've had your Brith.

Are we invited to that one too?

My wife is too smart to fall for that!
If I even think about asking, she won't take my calls

How much is the Rabbi going to need? It's already ,um, been ,um- redesigned for, um, aerodynamics.

 

[ruff]

I'll have to refer you to Marty. He handles the Briths for Mikey's board members.

Are you a supportive member?

If you are, it may be Fred

Would that be an incentive?

 

[Papa John]

I know exactly how you feel Ofer... I have those days also...It must be the market we serve..
It got so stressful in October/November
I needed to escape to Thailand after being back in SF after just five weeks!!

Do u ever get those callers that repeatedly speed dial your phone number like they're calling a radio station trying to win a prize?
those callers failed our psych test so we could even call them back. Haha

Hang in there Buddy!! I Can't handle this City alone..

 

[Willy P]

Yeah, I gotta agree- it;s friggin' January and I've got a week out bookings. I picked up some keys for the weekend 10,000 sf office (with 75 office chairs) when a guy called with 400sf of tile to strip and wax. The referral came from a supplier, so there goes Sunday afternoon.But, it beats the alternative.

 

[Zee]

It is so up and down right now...

Booked solid- halfway into February but was pretty slow before Christmas.
Good thing for the flood work on December 31st and the following days after that.

 

[NobleCarpetCleaners]

in that case we all should retire...
