They were right.
The job in Las Cruces, New Mexico, is not ready, but the powers-that-be (not mine, the general contractor) insist that they really are ready and want me to install as soon as possible.
Then I shall do so. I am a helpful Troll. (Innocent look)
I actually like jobs like this because it gives me an opportunity to show others how it is done. “Lead, follow, or get out of the way,” is my motto, and now some of the other trades are going to have experience the wrath of Troll.
This place is just about as far as you can get from Idaho in the way people behave. In Idaho, people seemed friendly and smiled a lot. Down here people are generally just angry, bitter, and complain about everything, while doing little to nothing to solve anything.
I wonder if anyone has ever done a study about the relationship between climate and people’s view of the world. I would guess that there is a relationship between hot climates and hot tempers, but I am guessing.
Frankly, I prefer Idaho.
We finally got the house rented. The new realtor did as she said she would and did not take six months to tell us that she has not done what she said she could do. With the economy the way it is, I think she did a fine job and now we have to adjust to the idea that we have a small business.
Changes continue. Updates to follow.
