1. I spent the weekend on a lady's fence and gates the wind had blown off. It was a real mess. I was packing the dirt around the posts, hitting a 4x4 w/ the sledgehammer and instead hit my right pointer finger. Mashed it flat and meat and blood squirted everywhere. I wrapped it up and kept working.
2. I went to get water from the spout for the cement and the faucet wouldn't shut off...so I had them shut off the water while I fixed that, just a washer.
3. They have a metal decorative piece, shaped like a bird. I bent over yesterday and didn't see it in my peripheral vision and it took a chunk out of my nose.
4. If you knew how long it takes me to type... I have a huge bandage on my right pointy.
I got a card in the mail Saturday from a friend saying thanks for remodeling, and included a $75 Applebee's gift card. So my wife and I went there Sat. night.
It was packed, so we waited at the bar. I ordered an iced tea, wine for Cheryl and an appetizer. It took forever to get the tea and wine, and she never offered a refill, then no napkins or silverware for the appetizer. Paid the $15 tab and gave her a $3 tip. I was still in a good mood at that time so the bad service wasn't even a blip on the radar.
We were seated, ordered and got the check, but it also included a $3 item for iced tea...which I'd already paid for at the bar. By then our waitress was nowhere to be found, so on the way out I asked the hostess if I should have been charged twice for the tea.
"No. You should definitely say something if that happens again next time."
5. My wife wont silence her phone at night and the damn thing is always going off waking me up. Someone texted her twice at 5 a.m this morning and she didn't budge. When it happened again at 6 a.,m. I got up to put the f***ig thing in the other room. THEN she acts like she's awake and grabs it just as I'm reaching for it to silence it.
6. Yes, I'm a grouch today.
