which means I am getting closer to completion.
This entire job should have been completed MONTHS ago but it has fallen prey to a woman that drags her feet making decisions and it has really gotten on my nerves.
That's been a BIG source of anger. It finally came to a head recently when I decided that not to decide is to decide and I started really pushing things.
The garage door is now on order and will take a few weeks because needless to say, it is not an in-stock item and the door people are also backed up a couple of weeks like every other sub out there.
One of the guys opined that the entire job should have been completed by January first and under ideal circumstances he was right. Fact is that every single sub involved was backed up and it would took at an absolute minimum two weeks to get them to arrive after an agreement was made. A month was pretty much par. Scheduling to get things flowing was damned near impossible.
St. Patrick's Day would have been reasonable under the circumstances to be fair about it. Tax day as an absolute!
The problem lies when a perfectionist can't seem to make a decision about something like what color to paint something or what color tile to use. The whole job stops while someone makes up their mind.
Choosing for them is an option exercises at one's peril because if that is done the screeching followed by the moaning, wailing and gnashing of teeth will be epic. I'm surprised Cecil B. DeMille didn't take some film of the conniptions that follow when someone painted a wall or something because the poor bastard was just tired of waiting for a decision. He could have used the film for the laminations of the womenfolk in a movie for a scene where the Huns have razed a village and killed off most of the men and children.
I did finally blow up and push the garage door issue and it has been ordered.
I hear ya Pic. Been there, done that!
ReplyDeleteProtip. When a painting project comes up get your primer tinged battleship grey and get a separate quart tinted signal red. For example a light switch. "Overhead light. Secure after use. Down is off." Above a door label it 'escape hatch' and put a red arrow pointing to the doorknob labeled 'rescue'.
