Rant & a Whole Bunch of 4 Letter Words

Please forgive me but I am so mad - as the saying goes "I could spit cotton". Trust me that is not what I would really like to say but I don't want anyone to faint...

As I have shared I am still trying to get quotes for the destruction that happened to my farm. So far there is not a single roofer who can do the roof for what the Insurance company says is normal replacement/repair costs. So I called and made an appointment with the roofer that the insurance company recommend. First they are on the opposite end of Colorado. Next the guy sounded so unprofessional while making the appointment but I caulked it up to a language issue. The appointment was set for today from 2 to 4 pm.... My gut was telling me there was going to be a problem but I again caulked it up to language issues and also getting tired of this whole thing.

So today I did not do outside work so I did not greet the person smelling like a billy and covered in barn poo - That means working inside but again around noon I logged off the computer just in case the guy did not understand the directions. So no outside work, no business computer work and now it was 5:00. As each hour passed the madder I got but I understood that he was coming from a long way and still did not speak English as a first language. I called him and he answered. I asked "Are you on your way"??? He said No.. I said "WHAT"? He said he was a bit ill and was not coming. I said " Does your phone not call out? Did you not think to call because some of us have work to do?? I guess he thought I might just watch soap operas and paint my toenails...

His response was nothing that would be the least bit professional. He then stated he looked me up on the computer and figured out what he would do the job for - like that was professional. I told him that he was to come a walk the roof, take measurements, and give a written bid. He told me that it was not necessary but if I had to have it that way that he could do that.... It took all my might not to throw the phone across the room. So this is what my insurance company gets to do their work - Crap, no wonder my gut was in knots....

So, needless to say this guy will be entering the snake pit here tomorrow and I will be giving my insurance claims guy a mouth full..

I thank you guys for letting me rant and rave - trust me it took about two hours to get my typing not to include all four letter words. People think lawyers are bad but really - did you know that roofers have the worst ratings with the BBB then most other trades. I would have rather been shoveling poop all day - at least I would have been happier... also I would not be another day behind in my work...

So tomorrow this guy gets the billy smelling, poop covered farm girl with a pitch fork. Heaven help him.
