84+ Degrees at 7 A.M.

Lots of heat,   the Good Lord must have turned the furnace on outside.  It is 84 Plus degrees and it was not even 7 a.m. yet.   That is how we felt the first three days of this week.

When it is above 70 degrees that early in the morning you can bet :
1.) That the phones will be doing a non-stop ringing all day long.
2.) People will be tremendously impatient with you because they are hot.
3.) Your service men will not be able to keep up with the calls.
4.) You will be behind 1-5 days by the end of the day.
5.)  People hate paying the extra to get it that night.
6.)  Everybody that calls feels they are more important to you then the guy who called in the day before.
7.)  You have to watch yourself or you too will be upset with the people in general.
8.)  You may or may not get time to go to lunch.
9.)  That you will be taking messages all day for the salesmen, because after you have given them a couple of
      phone calls they will have disappeared out of the office.
10.)You will not get out of the office on time.
11.) You are so tired that you really don't care which end is up.
12.)  Therefore, You do NOT WANT TO HEAR THE PHONE RING WHEN YOU GET HOME!!!!

I am grateful that today it is not as hot as it had been earlier this week, yet when I look at the forecast for next week it looks like the first 1/2 of the week will once again be a scorcher out there.

Having such a busy summer here, I sure am looking forward to the end of the year, when I can say "I'm Out of here"

SO, STAY COOL EVERYBODY AND REMEMBER IF YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO HAS CALLED A REPAIR PERSON AND THEY ARE BOOKED---they don't make the rules, they just have to follow them....They don't set the rates they just have to enforce them.

STAY COOOOOLLLLLL!

I bet you do have some crazy people you have to deal with! It's been near 100 here every day and it's suffocating just to walk outside, it feels like!

Hi Verna...Bless your heart! I sure don't envy your job at this time of year with this kind of heat! Heat makes people crazy!

I wish people would be nice to you...because it is not your fault! I guess you will just have to pray your way through the day! Huh?

Love you,
Linda
