Have you ever set traps at the wrong house?
I did.
I received a text from my "administrative assistant" to meet a customer 11:30am at their home. I arrived at the address on time. No one is home. I call my "secretary" to get more details and verify the address. I was told by my "secretary" that I am at the correct house and squirrels are suppose to be entering the structure somewhere on the front porch. I inspect the front porch and sure enough on the far right column squirrels are entering the porch roof. My "administrative assistant" says to go ahead and set the job and don't worry about the homeowner that is MIA. I set the job and leave.
A few hours later My "CEO" gets a calls from my 11:30 customer wondering when will I show up.
Rut-Roh.
Turns out,the "CEO" gave me an address that was ten houses down from where I was suppose to be, and ironically the wrong house also had squirrels living in the front porch. Fortunately my "apprentice" felt bad for screwing things up and drove to the job site to straighten things out.

So is your administrative assistant, your secretary, your CEO, and your apprentice, all the same person?

That post made me dizzy. If they are not the same person, that is some next level ADC work bureaucracy.... Good enough to make Uncle Sam proud.

yep, all the same person. Lots of titles make people feel good, just trying to do it like Barry Soetoro.

One of the funniest post I've read in a while. laugh

Years ago, I had a Volkswagen repair shop. This was back in the days of the air cooled engines. A guy said he would sell me an engine if I would come and take it out. He was putting in a new one. It was the green bug in the parking lot of an apartment building.

I went over, found the car and had the engine in the back of my truck in about twenty minutes.

Two days later he called and asked why I hadn't been over to get the engine. shocked

So I guess the question is...how many squirrels did you catch? whistle

It is not the wife. I did get called an a--hole for posting this. The laugh and name calling was worth it.
I removed a mama squirrel and baby squirrels successfully, and have a happy customer.

I killed the wrong beaver once...had a job for a property mamagement coompany on a peice of land they had, they gave me the closest address because no houses were on the property, found the pond set the traps and went on about my way, next day the lady was sittin in the driveway by the pond with a gun wanting to know why I killed her beaver "bart" I said who is bart, she said her beaver that had been in her pond for 7 years..I gathered up bart, my traps, and my pride and rolled out..ended up having to buy a handcock and getting her another beaver...luckily that beaver stayed..could have been bad....
