<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThat 30 minutes cost my tech billable time and me payroll \u2014 and yes, we\u2019ll bill in accordance with the terms everyone agreed to when they signed up: you\u2019re responsible for misinformation on your form. It\u2019s in black and white. We run a business, not a teleportation service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve got about 10,000 readers \u2014 what do you think? Is this a post-Covid entitlement thing, a decline in basic responsibility, or did people always do this and I was just blissfully unaware? Sound off below. And if you\u2019ve ever wanted to Gibbs-slap<\/em> someone, I want to hear about that as well. Don’t be shy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On a brighter note, Challis let me know last night that he\u2019s ready to get back out there and take care of the customers he missed when he twisted his ankle \u2014 even if it means hobbling around on crutches to do it. Now that\u2019s<\/em> work ethic! Gotta love my nephew. If we could only get his brother Reese helping us again as well…….<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben crushed it yesterday too, even after trekking all the way to Ola and Emmett. The poor guy\u2019s reel came loose from all the bouncing on those cow-patty roads in Ola, but he still managed to knock out all but four stops on his route. After work, he swung by Jesse\u2019s place (since they\u2019re practically neighbors) and Jesse had the reel welded and patched up within 30 minutes flat. I swear, between the tools, the teamwork, and the fast fixes, I feel like I\u2019ve got a full-blown NASCAR pit crew working for me sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eddie wrapped up his route in Star without a hitch \u2014 and even got it done before his 3:30 appointment. If I could clone two more just like these guys, I\u2019d finally be able to sleep at night\u2026 or at least before midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the routes for today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben with “Leroy” in Caldwell and Meridian 83646<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lonkey Ln Challis with “Orange Julius” in Nampa 83686<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cottage Ave Eddie with “Purple Rain” in Boise 83702<\/p>\n\n\n\n North 26th Street Here comes my first rant of the season \u2014 and I made it three whole weeks before I had to let one loose. My patience must be improving\u2026 or I\u2019m just getting better at bottling it up until blog time.
