Can't keep up.....

[PrimaDonna]

Phones have been screaming all week. Every time I hang up either the phone rings again or I have voicemails from missed calls. We've been running both trucks at times, but I think we are going to send them both out together everyday through the busy season just so we can accommodate those last minute add ons and "holiday" cleaning emergencies. I can split them up if needed and take on the stuff we might normally have to turn away.

'Tis the time of year, but this year seems exceptionally busy. Been booked out 1-2 weeks for the past few months. December has a fair amount of jobs booked already to.

Love the busy season...but the after the storm calm will be nice too. Moving in to our new shop/office starting mid-December, so lots to do there to keep us busy during the "slow"season. Hired an admin person to help out in the office too.

Of all the problems to have, I'll choose "busy" every day!

Then you'll need to find a way to show me.

You don't want to see that!

That's the way I roll during busy times,your husband is going to love it!! We will also park a van somewhere along the route when we need to split up.. 4 rooms or under we generally do with one truck one guy 5-6 rooms two guys one van 7 or more rooms two vans 2 guys (it's nice to have three guys in these instances)..

Congrats Meg

I always think of this time of year as squirrel season. Overload the schedule , cause in a few short months the phone calls drop off significantly until Spring

Sounds like you have plenty to keep the boys busy during the winter with new shop

Three guys for two hoses works well and is profitable. On large jobs that require both hoses and prescrubbing and or vacuuming we have run up to 5 guys for one truck and wands never stop moving.

York would have loved having you on the boards back in the day

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Sigh.....I'm such a small fry! Lol! Good for you Meg! I am booked pretty solid for the next two weeks. As much as I can handle myself anyway!

Don't overwork yourself trying to out do some of these guys. It's not a competition!

She's not in competition...she's wo"maning" up and taking over for her hubby while he's ill. She's one tough chick!

And....would you have made the same comment if it was one of the guys on the form saying he was working alone, doing as much as he could handle and booked out one to two weeks.....????

I think us women here have proven our selves and should be treated like one of the guys....

 

[Desk Jockey]

She is that, but she is working with an injured back. It makes no sense to risk more injury when you are the primary bread winner.

 

[PrimaDonna]

Ah....well that make sense. I should know your not babying the ladies!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Hey I'm always nice to the ladies!

Except maybe Auto, but she deserves it. She's feisty!

Meg:

Have those testosterone shots caused you to lose any hair?

 

[FB7777]

" can't keep up "

There's a pill for that too

You've got it backwards....it's making me grow hair. I have to shave my face everyday now and I have an adams apple developing...

 

[Desk Jockey]

Kick him square in the balls.

This is also the time of year people reschedule like crazy! I hate that shit!

 

[Barry-QDCC]

Last 2 weeks have been slower than usual. Some days I've wondered if I forgot to pay the phone bill.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Lol....I know that! I'm being careful....I'm not trying to compete, just trying to pay the bills and be efficient and productive.

Aww...thank you Meg! Not gonna lie, you just made me cry a bit!
It's all good,@Desk Jockey is lookin out for me, we have a friendship building and give each other hell constantly all in good fun!

I ain't got but 3 jobs this week, and nothing lined up yet for the rest of the year...Who likes to work there ass off anyway?

 

[Mikey P]

Why don't you offer carpet and upholstery?

 

[steve_64]

Ive been slower than I like but im still recovering from spring and summer so I aint complaining.
Maybe ill go see the chiropractor today.
Might join a group of string players today too.
I enjoy these slow times as long as they dont last to long and they usually dont.
Waiting on doing some bids that got accepted too.
