first the guy up and quits after dell sends him the part, but before he brings it here and installs it.
then dell takes a week to inform me that the guy quit, meanwhile i've been leaving messages on his machine.
then a new guy calls me yesterday afternoon, saying he'll come out sometime between 6 and 9 pm. well i've got bar review class that evening, so that's a no-go (class is either morning from 9 to 12 or evening from 6 to 9, as i'd already missed the morning class by the time he called i had to go to the evening one). he tells me he'd get to me first thing this morning then. 'definitely before 9' was the quote.
so i wake up at 7 (to take the dogs out) and start waiting for the guy to show up.
just now he calls, says he'll be here between 4 and 7 tonight.
goddamnit, if he had told me that yesterday i would have gone to the morning bar class that started 20 minutes ago.
he'd better get here before 4:45.

The guy worked fairly quickly, I just set him up at one of my work benches and he came back 20 minutes later for me to check things out
