Doesn’t it always seem to go like that sometimes? Either a famine or a feast. I refer to my work of course but equally it could be anything in my life. You’ve heard the old story about the guy waiting for hours for a bus then suddenly three or four pull up all at once! I don’t mind these things in life, it’s what makes life interesting I think.
Today I visited my favourite salon to have facial hair removal. I have been going there for some time now and it’s kinda fun………yeah sure! It actually hurts like hell but the pain doesn’t last. Usually there is some swelling where the ‘needle’ has been, a bit like having pimples. Normally it all goes down within a couple of hours but today for some reason the ‘pimples’ have remained and my face looks a sight for sore eyes! LOL. Like it’s one extreme to the other. Either I have little trouble or the opposite is true. Hopefully the ‘pimples’ will have died down by the morning. I wonder what the guy in whose house I was in this afternoon thought about my ‘rash’. I didn’t realise it was so bad until I returned home later.
I had been to an old guy’s apartment in the morning to sort out a power outlet failure. Turns out the old cabling had deteriorated so I had to remove the power outlet and make the cable safe but it is not usable. I am to return in a few days to instal a new circuit. The guy was stone deaf and it was hard communicating with him to the point of having to shout to make myself heard. So I was shouting for about a half hour when he suddenly said to me, ‘What are you shouting for?’ Takes all sorts I suppose. Later, when at another job, I received a phone call from him asking if I could come next Tuesday to fit his new power point. All I could hear over the phone was a high pitched whistle and background noise. He had his hearing aid switched on and set too high and it was causing all sorts of problems. I had to shout again to get myself understood! Why does it happen to me?
I get calls when I am in awkward situations and it’s as though people are waiting for me to be half way up a ladder or stuck inside some cupboard wiring a switch. When I am busy, the phone rings and at other times not. I am either in great demand or not at all.
Yes, in my job, in my life, things go from one extreme to the other. Is your life like that?
