Every day, my phone lights up like a Christmas tree with people texting for updates. I remind them that we send out notifications the night before to anyone we will be servicing the next day \u2014just like it says in the Terms they agreed to, and in the confirmation email they received, and, oh yes, also on the blog that\u2019s mentioned in both. And that\u2019s usually when I get the universal reply: \u201cHuh?!\u201d Apparently, reading the info that\u2019s been sent three times now requires a secret decoder ring I forgot to issue this year. I knew I forgot something!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like the great T-Mobile text blockade has finally lifted! I can actually send messages to family and employees again without them vanishing into the void. Not sure if someone came to bat for me, or if T-Mobile just got bored blocking my texts and decided to move on to harassing someone else. Either way, I\u2019ll take the win\u2014communication is back on the menu for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, if you scroll down to the bottom of each post, you\u2019ll see a Subscribe<\/strong> button. That little box isn\u2019t just for sprinkler season \u2014 it\u2019s your all-access pass to everything we post year-round. Sometimes it\u2019s funny, sometimes it\u2019s a rant, and sometimes it\u2019s all three at once, but it\u2019s always useful. Tap it once, enter your email, and voil\u00e0 \u2014 every time I post an update, it\u2019ll magically appear in your inbox. No hunting, no refreshing, no \u201cDid you send a text?\u201d messages\u2014just pure Maintenance Shop goodness, straight from my keyboard to your eyeballs. Even T-Mobile can\u2019t block my posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our loyal readers know from Saturday\u2019s post, Joe had two sick kids at home and couldn\u2019t run his route. He\u2019s back in action today, making up for lost time \u2014 and we tossed in a few new stops just to keep him humble. Eddie had a solid day Saturday until Purple Rain<\/em> decided its battery could no longer keep up with the workload. Kind of like me before my first Coke Zero of the day \u2014 and if you know me, you know that\u2019s by the gallon. Honestly, this time of year, I need a Coke Zero IV-drip to get through the workday. We swapped in a new battery, so Eddie\u2019s ready to finish Saturday\u2019s route with a few bonus stops for good measure. Ben, on the other hand, wrapped up his route Saturday like a pro and will be back today to tackle another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesse spent part of the weekend getting the new reel installed on Orange Julius<\/strong>, so it\u2019s almost ready for action \u2014 all we need now is someone worthy to operate it. I\u2019ll be diving back into the candidate pile today, searching for that rare gem who not only knows how to handle sprinkler blowouts but can also navigate the highly sophisticated, mildly temperamental,<\/em> and totally proprietary tracking and payment system I built myself. Of course, if I get desperate, I may drop the qualifications altogether and make the only requirement having a pulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
