So I'm working on his airplane, he has a few minor corrosion issues.
He comes by with a pint can of some paint that's supposed to match. Great ! Now he's "forgotten" the one containing the color that I don't already have. And hangs around for a few minutes asking about this and that, then leaves. Later he comes back with the other color. And hangs around for about an hour, BSing about this and that. So I stop work, and talk with him for a while. Problem is while I'm BSing with the customer, there's nuttin' getting done. And I needa get him finished up by Tuesday.
He kept askin' how long I'll be, I told him that if the temp get's up enough I should be able to paint on Mon. (what I didn't tell him, is that only goes as long as he quits pestering me). About 4:30 I start packing up, and he says "I'll see you tomorrow, What time will you be here?"
I work three ways:
Good
Fast
Cheep
You may pick only two.
If you want Good, and Fast, it won't be cheep.
If you want Good and Cheep, it won't be fast.
If you want Fast and Cheep, it won't be good.
But don't pester me or it won't be either of those.
