I've only been back home for about 4 hours or so, but I'm just now getting a chance to relax.. I came home to plenty of messages from clients who all want me to show up NOW and work on little shit like spyware removal or replacing a fucking hinge on their laptop. I'm also wanted in NYC AGAIN on Tuesday and Wednesday with like no fucking notice! This is the shitty part of owning your own business... either you're broke or you have too much work to do and not enough time.. I just can't seem to win! About the only nice thing I came home to was a check for $2,000.00 from a client in California, that made me very happy for about five minutes.
So the trip to NYC started off pretty well.. I got to hang out with some good friends and go out to a nice dinner. Thursday really was a wasted day due to piss poor planning on the clients part, but I managed to get a few things done. Check out this home theater. It's one of several in the house.
This place is just loaded with AV gear and all sorts of fun stuff. The Cisco Wifi Access Point in the main wiring closet could give free Wifi to the whole fucking building.
Thursday was a complete clusterfuck of epic proportions ending with me installing fucking lighting fixtures because the electricians couldn't do it! WTF?!?! NOT MY JOB! I really love this house though! 5 story townhouse on the upper west side. Check out the shower in the master bathroom.
I want one of these!! and the Jacuzzi to go with it!
This is the crappy little 2 star hotel that the client put me up in. Not much eh..
I didn't get much sleep, so here's me looking all happy to be awake at 7:30AM.
So basically what was supposed to be a nice relaxing week in Manhattan turned out to be an annoyance just about every step of the way.. And now.. thanks to piss poor planning... I get to go back on Tuesday and Wednesday to do what we should have done last time! I really have to start charging extra for aggravation tax! This week actually ended up costing me money because while I was in NYC, I missed an opportunity to sell a nice whole-house AV system install. I feel like throwing a temper tantrum like a little kid! I will most likely be spending all day Monday trying to schedule everything in a way that makes everyone happy.. this is NOT an easy task.. Right now I think I'll go eat a pint of oreo cookies & cream ice cream and watch movies instead of trying to figure all this shit out. Or maybe I should go out and get a real dinner.. I have a craving for some good Thai food.
