Just not always for the same person.
I have been asking for help with this new heating system I have installed, and for ages no-one has even replied. Now finally the engineer himself promised to come out tomorrow morning and guide me through everything and sort out all my issues. Hallelujah!
Then this evening, about 6:30, he suddenly called and said he could come right away if that would work for me. Of course I said yes, and he did come and very patiently explained everything and checked the whole thing over and promised to add the final necessary components ASAP.
I was very pleased – but unfortunately the reason he was able to come at such short notice was that earlier this afternoon, his apprentice had sliced the tip off his finger and so they had had to leave the job they were working on to take him to hospital!

@rebelann Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) is often used for small surgeries these days!
I would worry that perhaps he would lose sensation in that fingertip, but it was just the very tip so perhaps the nerves will grow back and not need to be surgically joined.

Fabulous. That's good to know. I hope the engineer will not charge you a big amount.
