How do you men do it? Only chance I get is after 7 when kids go to bed
Same as me not usually home till 6 plus then time with my son. Shower tea then it's 9 time to quote email invoices and pay bill does my head insame. I send quotes around eight in the evening sometimes after ten pm..
Would do it on my phone in work but iPhones don't have office, plus I don't think you can attach a file via email with them...
It would be so much easier if I had a standard price per m2 but to me it's never that easy with most jobs..
for tax purposes i dont like to have anything written down
Lol, just had one on the blower wanting some rendering done on a caravan park reception block....."But we don't want you there when it's fine cos that's when we're busy"
This one might be a bit of a head-scratcher :RpS_confused:
I only price up weekends if i can ,my brain is to dead at the end of the day :RpS_sleep:
why? you scared that they may realise that your to expensive
I get my misses to do it all, but before that she opens me a cold beer, runs my bath,starts the tea,rubs my back, opens another beer, loads dishwasher,feeds the cat,irons my going out clothes then starts the washing machine. If she gets a bit fruity later I check the quotes then its up to bed!:RpS_cool:
I can't look at jobs in the evenings because I have to go to Mothers after tea and often get back about 9.20pm. I look at jobs Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings. between 2 and 4 jobs a week. Out of those 1 might be serious the others are dreamers.
No one knows what they want (rendering)? So it is get out the samples and explain every one and they still don't know! So they ask me to quote for the lot!
I work out prices at dinner time and as soon as I get in. Quoting is done by email often after 9.30pm and is almost every night with other administration jobs like invoicing and paying bills etc.
It is doing my head in! Can't relax as there is always a quote that needs doing and if they have not received it within 3 days they are on the blower complaining. Work 7 days and 6 nights a week and only getting paid when i slap stuff on the wall, the rest of my time is for free and wasted on people who have no intention of having the work done.
F,ing customers! I hate em'
6 days work gotta spend some time with the wench and sprogs :RpS_thumbsup:
Talking of sprogs, my missus gave birth to my first child at 9.11pm last night ....
Today is my 4th day of in the last 40 days, and i worked everynight untill about 8-9 ish a couple of weeks ago. The only reason i do it is too keep everyone happy. People don't p*ss about nowadays they will just get someone else, and i dont wanna lose what maybe a decent contact for the sake of working a Sunday or going a doing a few hours in the evening.
I hear the attitude all the time ... ""I'm not working weekend" "Fu*k working late" then half of them wonder why the phone dont ring and they go no work.
Going have to feed my son somehow
Cheers man ... A Boy! Calling him Joseph. Kim and the baby have been kept in over night. I Had the best nights sleep in months
You guys have too many free weekends, We do 6-7 days a week, everyday is a work day. Only quote in the evening or way home.
