Now don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for what I have and I am so grateful that everyone I love is healthy but lately its just one thing after another! So are you ready for this one?!
I live where is snows. A lot. So Michael bought a plow truck, actually borrowed the money from his parents for a plow truck and he got a few accounts. One driveway thats $40, another driveway thats $60 and then a government building that paid $250. It had snowed three times already and that extra money really helped. The first $100 usually went into gas and truck maintenance so we were putting about $250-$300 into the bank every time it snowed.
We were supposed to get hit last night with about 3-6' and we did. I woke up at about 1:00am and it was snowing pretty good. At around 2:00am we got woken up to a text message from our subcontractor from the government job. Now don't get my wrong, this guy is a nice guy and he is just trying to do what Michael is trying to do, make money for his family, but this guy had NO IDEA what he was doing. He got the plow account without even having a truck! So he hired Michael to do the plowing and he was supposed to take care of the sidewalks and the sanding/salting. Well last week after it snowed a government worker slipped and fell in the parking lot because smarty-pants never organized a way for the parking lot to be sanded/salted. NICE MOVE STUPID!
So long story short Michael gets a text at 2 in the morning, while its snowing saying that we lost the account! First off, be a man and call Michael, not a 12 year old girl and text him. Secondly, maybe you should know what your doing before you hire people to work for you!
Michael and I were so upset. And you know what the best part about it is? Michael works somewhere where it is closed when it snows because he is plowing. The job is ok, but not the best paying job. He had the chance to work somewhere where the pay is better, but he wanted to wait until winter was over cause he couldn't plow and work there at the same time, but they hired someone else two days ago! If we had known he had lost the account he could have gotten that other job so easily!
This isn't Lil. Her face just shows how I feel:)
Sorry for the hugeeeee rant, I just wanted to get all that out instead of putting it all over facebook! Hopefully things will start turning around for us :)
