you as a window to show up for a project? I'd say two hours is ideal, four hours is acceptable. Anything more than that is ****ed.

Our sprinkler system company thinks 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. is a good window because when I called to confirm that the text that said this was not in error, they confirmed it was correct.

The representative on the phone then tells me he'll be there before noon. This was Monday. Dude didn't show up by noon so I told them to **** off.

Not wasting a whole day off waiting for the sprinkler guy to show up. They think they're delivering babies apparently.
