He went to my truck to get his phone. He passed out hunched over in the seat. When he was gone for like 15 minutes, I went to check on him

Like we've never gone out to get our phone and grabbed a quick little nap.

Letting the woman drive us to Houston. I'm just chillin.

Weekend getaway imo for the anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

Woohoo
French girl tearing up the roads in her beetle

S#!t about to get real

Fraynch?

cat pics?

Dutch?

Will post some when we are back in town and get cat from the boarding place

Is cat boarding a new kind of sport in Texas?

Apparently, Houston flooded.

Today is pretty ****ty.

Messed up on an estimate where I had the wrong material figured in. We won the job. Some post bid changes came through, and then I caught the error.
Going to see if we can get the customer to work with us, so we don't lose a few thousand dollars.

Utterly swamped at work, and on top of that I have to leave early. I have like 6 projects all due "early next week."

Long drive, short cliff?

A few thousand?
Are you on the meth?

Remind the customer that an estimate is a "guess", and you may have guessed wrong. You might mention that time you guessed really well.

We have some cliff-like features around here. If you wanna go for a long drive, stop by.

Estimating in flooring isn't the same as an estimate you get from a mechanic.

We would have ordered the wrong material for the wrong area. And then had to wait weeks for the right stuff to arrive. Liquidated damages could have sucked

Does customer have a clue? Can you sell the change from wrong to right material like improvment on a project? Do you have long term good relationship with this customer? I mean is he interested to work with you also in the future? Would this several k make the project go in the red zone?

No no. It's not a retail place.

We're a contractor/distributor. We were awarded a job for X dollars. Our client is a general contractor accidentally placed material A in a area that gets material B.

What that means is material costs one amount, the sundries cost an amount, and the labor costs another.

So, to fix this mistake, we order material B which is more expensive and costs more to install.

Even after returning the product, we lose monies. Commercial general contractors generally do not care if you make a mistake, and you eat it. Sometimes, that'll help out, sometimes not. I'm sure that they would try to help, but their client(owner of building) may not care to pay more either, since he's already agreed to pay a certain amount.

We got lucky though, they released a big change which nullified my mistake, and what not

Sounds like you caught a bit of a break.
And have already been in conversations with your leadership regarding the exposure and gravity.
Your were not terminated, I am guessing.
Lighten up, Francis.
**** Happens, even if you're really good at what you do.
Get your head in the game, don't let it happen again, and for globs sake, get a haircut you filthy hippie.

Oh, I wasn't worried about getting fired at all. I'm valuable now.

I'd've fired you

Fk off !

Catching up on Breaking Bad. Started season 3. Couldn't stand Skyler from the beginning. Hate her even more now. I hope she dies, but I know she's in every episode of the series. So I have little hope that she does.

F Skylar, for reals

She dies next episode and every episode after that they just flashback to shots of her being brutally killed so she gets credited for being in those eps.
