Don't try to tell me about cancelled planns!!!I have tried to keep time off for 2 months to come up and get it. It sat there for 1 week and you sold it . (ON CRAIGSLIST AT THAT). I would have gotten it that Saturday, but YOU couldn't meet me.
Don't try to put this on me.
I sorry your boss won't give you any slack. Mine always have.
first off you knew from the first time we met at the low country boil that i was not pulling the engine until i had all the parts for my swap. You knew the guy i purchased the only ranger OD for sale on Mud was in iraq and i could not get it until he came home. If you took time off for two months waiting on me to pull my engine when i'm waiting on someone to come back for iraq you've got a screw loose.
You planned that entire mountain camping trip and i told you a good 2 weeks ahead of time that i would be going to it and will be taking the land cruiser. I told you at the camping trip that i would be pulling the engine as soon as i got back home. I had a few more parts that were schedueld to come in early that week and that was all i was waitin for. That was the week of the UF/S.Car game
Tuesday after the trip the engine was out and on a pallet. I contacted you immediatly. You commented on my "fj60 powered by isuzu thread" that you'd be coming up sunday to get the engine.
I was ticked that you cost me 30 bucks that i didn't need to spend when you neglectd to call me and say you were not coming. There is a 24 hr cancelation policy for my sitter. I find it rude to cancel on people the last min without good reason, even if she didn't have a cancelation policy i'd wouldn't have asked for my money back, it would seem a bit rude to cancel at the last min for no reason at all don't you think?
To top that off i had to call you to even find out you were not coming. If i had not called were you even going to bother calling or was i just going to wait around all day sunday for a phone call from you????
Then you made plans to come get the engine thur or friday...we are well over a week here in the amount of time you knew the engine was out and waiting for you.
You even told another member that you were headed here thur or friday to get the engine (see the Chas to Pitt thread for the post)
You told me on the phone, "i will call you wed night and let you know which day (thur or fri) will work best for me, its easier for me to take a weekday off than a weekend"
Wed you never called, at that point i was dissapointed in you.
I could have sold the engine at that point for twice my asking price to you, i had wasted my time, i had played musical pallets around the shop to keep the engine out of the sight of the boss and to make more room for equipment we are getting in daily.
I told you, come by friday or i have to do something else with the enigne. In otherwords i told you that you told me that you were coming thur or friday and if you wanted the engine you needed to do what you said you were going to do and stop jerking me around.
Thur when you called and didn't seem interested in picking up the engine (you were pretty much an ass on the phone) i contacted all the parties that were interested in the engine back when i listed it for sale a few months back. I told them all if you didn't not pick the engine up by friday when the shop closed it was going to go to the first person with cash in hand.
I had told them all at the time i was holding the engine for a fellow UC member and would save their email incase it didn't sell.
After almost 2 weeks of being pulled and two times of you saying "hey i'll be there (insert day here)" and you never showing the engine went from hold to first come first serve.
Who cares who i sold the engine to. If it had not been picked up sat it would have went to the scrap yard monday morning when the scrap man makes his weekly rounds.
I think my boss was kind enough to let me do my swap up here.
this is a shop, a place of buisness, not a storage facility.
You brought this on yourself. Had i not wasted money on a sitter 2 weeks ago just for you to bail on me last min i might have been more inclined to contact a buddy with a truck and given some gas money to help me move the engine across town to my parents place for a few days.
You can't call me up on a friday evening or 8am sat morning and expect me to clear my scheduel on the weekend. Especially after we both agreed to two other specific times for you to get the engine and both times you canceled in a very un cruiser like fashion.
I told you sat that even if it didn't sell i had a concert to go to right after work where my daughter was singing at the mall. That was over at about 7pm..then i had the joy of being drug to the frigging roper mtn science center for the holiday lights.
Sunday i had church first thing in the morning where my daughter was perfoming for a chruch play for the youth which i could not miss, this may be my grandfathers last x mas and i could not bail on the family x-mas party especially with family from PA flying in and then i ended my sunday with a playoff game in which my hockey team was knocked out in the first round.
I'm sorry my weekend was all booked up. Had you made plans all week to meet me first thing Sat morning instead of thur of fri (which you never showed and never called) we could have made arrangements since i was here at 8am.
I'm betting if you did make plans all week to meet me this past sat morning you probably would have flaked....and some how every time you made plans to meet me and you flaked it has been my fault.
You brought this on yourself buddy.
Next time you make plans to meet someone, keep them. Afterall a man is only as good as his word.
Get a daily planner or something to help you keep your appointments. I'm not a storage facility. When you make plans to meet me I expect you to be there unless your dead or it's the 2nd coming of jesus.
If someone is trying to help me out, i try to go out of my way not to make them go any more out of their way.
