B&Q bathroom installation – day 42

I wait until 9 for the electrician then ring the installation centre to tell them he’s not here and I have to go to work and while I’m on hold, Louise from the fitters rings my mobile.  She says is it ok if they send an electrician over to me today?  WHAT THE FUCK?  I say I was expecting him already, he should be here by now and I’ve got to go to work.  Louise says, oh, we haven’t got anyone booked to come to you this morning.  I say well the installation centre said yesterday that he was coming first thing.  Louise says they shouldn’t have said that as they didn’t speak to them.  If there’s no one in this afternoon, we can send someone to you tomorrow first thing.  I say ok then. 

Tossers.

But while I’m on the phone to Louise, the postman rings the doorbell and I’ve been sent a box of chocolates from a web design client.  Yum 🙂

I ring my boss and say I’m going to be a bit late, I was waiting for an electrian but he’s not here.  My boss says it’s no good, I’ve got a meeting at 2 and there’s stuff I need you to do first.  I say I’m leaving now, I won’t be long.  I don’t like getting told off and when I get to work, my boss has his bad mood face on and says it’s a fucking waste of time waiting in for those wankers.  I think he hates B&Q more than I do.

Grr.

Alan at the installation centre rings at 2:45 and says did the electrician turn up this morning?  I say no and they rang at 9:10 and said that they hadn’t anyone booked to come round and you didn’t speak to them yesterday and that you shouldn’t have said an electrician was coming today and stuff like that.  Alan says, oh.  I say they’re sending someone tomorrow first thing.  I say they don’t know what they’re doing, do they?  He says he’ll decline to comment on that.  Alan says that he’ll make sure they definitely send someone first thing tomorrow and is that the only thing that’s outstanding?  I say yes, just the electrician.  He says let’s see what happens tomorrow.

Maybe tomorrow my bathroom will be finished?
