Find Myself Playing The Waiting Game Again

Oh I dislike it so much when I have to play the "waiting game". 10 days ago, I made an appointment for an electrician to come over and do some work. He promised to here today, sometimes after 10 A.M. I am still waiting and it is now after 2:00 P.M. I am getting more and more frustrated by the minute, I am afraid that he will not show up at all and will have to look for another one. Meanwhile, I have to keep myself busy with other things, I am getting a bigger headache with all that "anxiety".

@marlina that's true. Apparently, 'we'll attend to you shortly', meant, it might take an hour or two.

Did you try calling him? There's no excuse for an electrician not to call you if he was detained.

Oh I feel your pain. Like the tech that came today was supposed to call first and do you think he did? I was just thinking he was not going to show..when I heard a knock on the door. This is the second one from that company that did not call first..

@marlina That is standard practice for the industry. This particular company is too dumb to do that...

Today Nicolás said that he´d arrive at 9:30. He came way over 10 AM. Now he writes in his tables that he is going away 2 hours earlier because his GF waits for him.

Did he ever show up? It would have been considerate of he had called to let you know he was running behind.

That is pretty bad that he wouldn't give you a call or text to give you an updated time of when to expect him. I hope you get the job taken care of soon.

Try to relax. He will come. One can't do much about it. Have a good day
