I was just saying that I feel like i have two jobs - the one I work at from 8:30am to 5:30pm and then the one I have buying this stupid house. yes, its become the stupid house. so much drama combined with other drama. i might scream.
so the house drama - background: my house was built in 1920 and was moved from its original location on the lot. when it was moved, it was put on top of a concrete block (really more like a concrete container because there is some crawl space underneath the house). so during inspection, we found the living room chimney was not supported. supporting the chimney became a required repair on the contract amendment. there were only three other major repairs i thought were required - the windows stuck (which is a fire hazard), the chimney and then there was a leak in the guest bathroom and the water heater dumped into a bucket instead of into the ground.
so the seller/the seller's agent/both are being assholes. they redlined everything i requested other than the bathroom leak and the water heater noting that everything else was "easy to repair by the buyer". Um, since when do I have an advanced plumbing, HVAC, masonry, building license? News to me. Honestly, I hope when I go to sell this house years from now I'm not as big of an asshole. My required repairs were reasonable. I just don't get it. This kept me up last night. That and my other drama at work.
So I have this client who is a HANDFUL. I mean he is the smallest client I manage but he is high maintenance. I should be spending time doing things for my bigger clients that make my company money, but this dude just doesn't give it a rest. He even called my boss yesterday to tell him I'm not grasping his business concept and that our communications are poor and that I am not doing a good job. This really sent me over the edge because all I've been doing for the past week is work on this dude's campaigns. Seriously! I ignore everything else just for this guy's small ass account. I told my boss this and he is happy with my work and told me to grow a thicker skin, but it is really hard for me to restrain myself. I want to kick this guy's ass. Are you for real? I am not doing a good job? Cause I have proof I have been doing a good job. Some people are so fucking ungrateful.
