Am I the only one who realizes there’s a recession on? Because getting the two things in my title accomplished has taken, literally, months.
Why?
Because of people not returning calls, that’s why.
I left messages and/or emails for about four window washing companies. One called me back. They got the job.
I left message and/or emails for about eight lawn service companies. One got back to me and then never showed up to give me a quote. The person who just finished Simon grabbed from next door! He said he’d drop off a quote. He did. He got hired. And will continue to do the lawn every two weeks until the end of August or until I tell him for sure we’re staying in the house.
Which is another group of people who never call me back. Our estate agent.
Is it me? Is it the way I say ‘Hello, this is Robyn Fraser and I am looking for a window washer/lawn mower/if my landlord will renew our lease’?
Is it my accent?
Or do people not want work? Goodness sake, I’m tapping every avenue I have looking for work and these people have me calling and they are ignoring me! I would rejoice if someone called me!
But now the lawn is mowed and the windows are washed.
Now if the landlord would just let us know if we can stay in the house…
