So, got a call yesterday 40mins before my shift ended; "Hey so we had a slot open up, can we install your things tomorrow instead of 2 weeks from now?". Me; Sure.
As I like having security doors that actually secure things instead of merely looking the part, so quicker is better and I am only sad I can no longer take my angle grinder to the door that failed me. Regardless...
He pops around at 11am, sweet I get a sleep in as usually up at 5:30am, winning! You think my body clock let me? FML.
So he starts with the flywire, as why do the door only when you have house flexing and tears and things on wire on the windows also, so there's me moving things from in front of windows, in front of doors so you know, updates can happen whilst he is unloading all the goodies I paid for.
Legit as soon as I sat back down so he could work and turn the tv on for music channel, my lower back went; "what is this activity, you're arthritic and I didn't have 4 weeks to prepare for this AND it's winter." so suffice to say, I tried standing up and it took me multiple attempts so I could shuffle in front of my heater.
So I am chatting with this guys as he installs the doors all "I am sad you just pulled that door off as I can no longer beat the shit outta it for failing me" and "lookit my nifty inner door handle job with you remarking how uneven that rail is to stroke my ego" meanwhile I am disguising that if the chair I am leaning on shifts I am going down with the ship.
So he gets to one window and "so it seems they cut this 1.5mm shorter than it needs to be" so on the phone, hoping for an alt flywire to arrive, and by the time everything else is done, there is the last piece of the puzzle, and I would be happy but...
Randomly, I can now walk around, but if I twist at the hip at all r if the body thinks I am moving too fast, my legs turn to jello and my lower back screams at me to sit TF down.
tldr, I had toast for lunch as toasters are portable to the floor, what did everyone else have? Oh and FML, pop plants are heavy and delayed onset of owwies.
