Disastrous Job

[plumben]

Fair enough. Cheers guys. Knocks your confidence a bit though. You know, the feeling when you have f***** up customer's property and they then basically think everything you are telling them is a lie after that. Tried to tell him their system has a massive high section of pipe on it and 8 rads piped off a 15mm flow and return isn't ever going to work. You would have thought I was trying to tell him his father was a rapist.

The worst bit was it was the new plumber's first job lol. I don't blame him for it though, just one of those things. I wouldn't have done anything differently.

The one thing we all have to remember in life not just work or a certain situation is that "things happen, accidents occur and we all make mistakes, and sometimes it might feel like the worlds against you but theres nothing you can do once something has happened and dwindling on the past is not worth the headache"

And the 1 out of 100 jobs that don't go right we just need to crack on the next one

About 3 year ago had a bucket full of sludge just about to walk downstairs and handle gave way sending the bucket tumbling downstairs lol.

Spent about 50 quid on cleaning products that day

We're all part of the same team pulling in the same direction..

Insulting and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.. I've been reading my rule book!

Just a word of warning.

If you add 5 minutes per day in additional time because you want to protect against this happening again, that starts to add up.

This has happened to you once in 8 years. 5 mins x 250 days per year x 8 years = 10,000 mins or 166.66 hours. At £40 per hour thats £6,666 worth of time. Whilst I appreciate that this was embarrassing, would you have paid over £6k to prevent it from happening?

I sort of see what you are saying. But save the five minutes - who are you going to sell them too?
I hadn't realised before now that I REALLY cannot afford that mid morning cuppa sometimes offered.

Was this just a Freudian slip then ???? :smile:

That was just a momentary lapse of judgement. I'm back on track now.

This happened to one of my work mates but it was more than sludge that got dumped down their stairs! Since then the wet vac is held behind me as I go down stairs then if the handle pops my legs stop the wet vac.

I noted a below par level of attendance before he went Blue but put that down to the new house however the recent lack of humour leads me to wonder what happened to the real APP.

I feel your pain croft, I was using my George to suck out 2 inches of inky blue sludge from a 1950's toilet cistern when the motor gasket decided to fail me while the vac was behind me, as I sucked out it was blowing blue slime all over everything behind me, walls towels, carpets shower curtain.

A gorilla bucket wouldn't have helped.

That is one down side, anything that can foam up will do so big time in a wet vac.
