It was all going so well, wait, let me back up... Let's start with this.. If you're in the construction industry, this is the busiest time of year! (Putting it mildly) I had only worked 60hrs this week, and compared to the last month and a half, it's been a light week! (Easily worked 90hrs last week) The bonus of working as much as I do is my 'hooker fund' is flourishing. The downside is, I've been unable to reap the benifits! Moving to the present day.. Thusday afternoon rolls around and I'm ahead of schedule on my current project! "I'll be done early tomorrow!" Says the naive asshole sitting center stage of this post! "I'm going to reach out to one of the beautiful ladies (the one I've been hoping to meet for Soo long) on TOB for an appointment tomorrow afternoon, and enjoy a little r&r." P411 request sent, viewed and accepted! (I'm on a roll) In said request, I let the smoking hot YL know that I have a bit of work to wrap up in the morning, but would love an extended afternoon soiree! I go through my 'night before' routine, which includes, but is not limited to, clipping nails (fingers and toes), filing off all that damn dead skin, shaving my 2 week beard off (haven't had to impress anybody lately), trim the random fucking hairs that seem to grow out of every orifice of my body nowadays, and yes, I shaved my balls (grey hairs on a scrotum = not sexy!) I then went and got my $20 Great Clips haircut. Shit, I even washed the damn truck! Friday morning, roll out at 4am, headed toward the mountains. I 'should' be done and home by 11, leaving plenty of time for the final scrub. Need to wash the coffee and cigarettes out with toothpaste And listerine! Just because I'm a cronic chain smoker doesn't mean I want to show up smelling like an ashtray! I typicaly won't have a smoke for a couple of hours before an appointment. Next.. Shower! Scrub every bit. I know how much work you beautiful ladies put into getting ready for us, it's only fair we do the same, right!?! Not today though! Today I finished earlier than expected. Back in cell range at 10:30. As I come down the hill on 285 my phone starts going batshit. 8 voicemails. So many that I pulled off the highway to check them. Seems one of my other crews is missing a guy and he just happens to be the guy with the tools on his truck. Fuck! This crew is working on a seperate jobsite I have going outside Dillon. I ring up my date on the phone and leave a voicemail apologizing, but I'm going to be later than our scheduled time, just need to run up the hill to drop some tools off, but to call me back with any later availability she may have. Off to Dillon I go. That's the last she'll hear from me today. (No cell service where I was) It went from bad to worse, job was in shambles, couldn't get away. Now here it is, 10 o"clock on a Friday night, I've been up since 4, I still smell like coffee and cigarettes, and I stood up a beautiful woman today, so I could keep a job on track. The moral of the story is... Sometimes even the good guys have shitty days that make them be bad clients. To the YL I missed today: I'm very sorry I wasn't able to meet you today, but I hope to try again soon! PM has been sent
