There is some ungrateful sobs out there.
While a lot of customers are nice, thankful offer a drink or warm coffee. Others... are unbelievable to deal with. Form the moment we rocked up to their place, we cop abuse for taking so long, and why "our" lines failed, when THEIR bloody tree fell across the line in the first place. Or worse, when the HUGE tree in their property took out the mains and took the whole street or feeder off. Very frustrating, and makes you feel so low. Like I really want to be away from my family, and in wind and rain at 3AM in the morning copping abuse from some low life, because his power is off and he cannot play GTA5. It's as if I control weather...
Even though the $ is good, no more for me for a while. Told work to stick it. Don't call me outside of my usual working hours. Need a mental break more than anything.
