Archaic times

With the roof being replaced smoothly I figure it's time to remove some of the waste that is accumulating. Pretty simple, just call the carting company order the correct size container and off it goes...........ah if life were so easy for me.......once again welcome to the "VORTEX THAT IS DONNA"

Me-I telephone the first company on the list:
"Hello, I need a container"

Jerk- "What size of container are you looking for and what are you putting in it?"

Me- "We are re-roofing so spent shingles and some nails" (of course if you don't know me I am going to recycle the aluminum myself and make a few pennies)

Jerk-"Well how large a job is it?"

Me-"It's a 60 square job so I think right now I need about a 6-8 yard container and I am wondering how much they would be?"

Jerk-" Where is the house located?" (Oh crap when he finds out there goes the price)

Me- (my town since I haven't pulled a permit I won't mention it now).

Jerk-"WOW how large is the house for sixty square 10,000 square feet at least"

Me-"Now don't get carried away. The house has a twelve pitch and the house isn't even half that size. "

Jerk-"Well you need at least a 20 if not 30 yard container for all that mess, it's going to cost you many thousands of dollars"(see he found out the town and now the price just went up)

Me- "I know what I am speaking about. (of course I have been in construction for over...... not to age my self several decades) I am telling you I only need a 10 maybe 12 yard at best if I clean out the garage and basement......"

Jerk- "LISTEN LADY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT, YOU NEED A REALLY LARGE CONTAINER, ITS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE"

ME- " I appreciate what your saying but looking at the pile of rubble it is only at best four yards now. Maybe you should go and (At this point I was going to say the lumber yard to see what 60 square look like but I didn't get the CHANCE).

Jerk- "What the f*$#K are you talking about, you don't know what the H*%#l you need, I'M TELLING YOU WHAT THE F*&&^^K YOU NEED AND IT IS A HUGE CONTAINER!!!!!"

Me- Speechless for once....

Jerk-"YOU NEED TO CALL ANOTHER F%&**NG HAULING COMPANY!!!!! CLICK

I must say that I have run into this type of neanderthal thinking in the past usually with older vehicle salesman, but to be bombarded with foul language by the what I would have imagined was the owner of the company left me dumbfound. I don't think men believe that there are woman who know what they are talking about when it comes to construction. I have be lucky enough to be taught by the best and have used my knowledge on a great many projects and have more experience than I would like to admit so that no one asks me to do jobs for them.

I had a cold hard slap of reality again this morning and it really set my britches to smoldering. Since I am such a large person in real life people give me respect that I have grown accustomed to. When using the phone they can not see my laser eyes burning holes into their little pea brains putting the fear of the attack of the Amazon, who will with her aura just melt you into the sniveling mud sucking squid dick that you truly are. Now with that said I can't say I feel much better, I do know that someday I will meet this person face to face and will in no uncertain terms tell him where the dog died. Because I can always count on fate and destiny to help me through. God gives me the strength to control myself so I don't pummel them into the ground and wipe my feet on their eye brows.

On another note, my daughter is healing well and is into a soft neck collar for another 3 weeks using the hard collar when she is around the animals. No tag playing or rough housing yet.

The boy has unplugged from the head set and has turned human again. I think maybe our parents were correct that the more that we listen to others the less we are of ourselves.

Enough rambling for one day, Slurp.....mmmmmm......I feel much more relaxed now......

ARE YOU CRAZY....

So I'm off to pick up a buckling for goat breeding that I had actually purchased last year and I asked my husband to help me put one crate in the back of the truck.

Just put the cap on he says that way you won't have to worry about rain or anything. No, I say. I just need the one crate.

So on goes the cap and home I come with two goats (lucky that it is not four......he doesn't know how tempted I was with the payment plan offered!).

Why are there two? What are you kidding me?

Even with the visit I make it home in 6 hours. I can see how tired he is from working on the roof and just let it all slide by with the vodka and soda I was handed. My how smooth that went down. May I have another?

What do you mean there are evening chores to do? After the second cocktail I will swagger down to take care of all those lost souls.......after all I did finish late again this morning.

No, I just realized that I don't have to harvest 30 chickens this week it can wait a week. Just as well they aren't quite big enough.

Slurp......mmmmmmmm..........oh I suppose..........
