Was so excited for the weekend....

[Mark Saiger]

Was so excited just to have some potential time off....

Even got done around 3:30 pm today, got a haircut....life was looking kind of good (We already had put plenty of hours in this week and Aron in overtime)

By 3:30....the last minute "I need it now" calls come in....and of course, they can't be ready until early tomorrow (Sat) morning.....and the other Tomorrow afternoon....., and got to be done before Monday (or by tomorrow at noon.....blah, blah, blah........

Come on people....can we not plan something!!

Alright....so, this is the price (thinking might scare them off).....

That will be great, here is the code to the front door....

Ok....guess I can hope for Sunday to get some office, house and shop work done.....

And next week....SLAMMED!!!


I guess......

Take the whole family and make a day of it.

In 20 minutes, I am going to meet my former assistant Band Director down the way for a couple microbrews so we can complain about life and each others jobs....

Will be a great reminder why I left the other job

 

[Desk Jockey]

You earned it!

If I were there I'd buy the first round....in fact IF I were there I'd buy dinner...yea that's it. I'd buy everyone in the place a round and dinner!

Too bad I'm not there!

No, I think it'll work out ok the way it is.

Three weeks ago I put a big giant "x" on my calendar for this Sat! Enough is enough, eight weeks without a Sat. off is toooo long.

April and May have both been wonderful!

Ditto. I plan to start a post called "pulling a saiger".

We've been slammed. Biggest week EVER and we have done big weeks. Booked out farther than we've ever been.

It's insane, but will take it when we can get it. Bank now for the winter.

 

[bob vawter]

hey Meg...wanna pull my finger.......?

Mark- I could work 7 days a week this time of year....... but here's the secret..... I tell people I work Monday through Friday. Money is not my God. I make enough money 5 days a week. FYI- I've worked maybe 3 Sundays in my adult working life.

It's been crummy wet rainy weather, so didn't miss too much....

But, I just got in from the shop putting 6 hours in on the vans doing service, mounting some new mounting brackets, moving some things around and organizing...

Me and the wife went out to early morning brunch today at 10 am....did a bunch of shopping and errands....was good to spend sometime together...

Yesterday, we mixed some work and pleasure a town about an hour away....was good and relaxed actually....

People are crazy around here right now this year, and thankfully we are doing well....

This weather get's nice out and I am getting on the Triple Toon and the PWC's....they are going to have a hard time finding me out there this year!

We got two inches of rain I started taking calls at 7:00 am and the last crew dragged in around 8:00pm.

We processed 10-losses and have 3-for tomorrow and 6-estimates. Rough day.

It rained here too. I took a nap.
