I had a bad day at work last week, no matter what I tried to do it got worse. Couldn’t get help from anyone in my office, I’m in outside sales for a steel and fabrication company. Left the Bay Area at noon and said F it. Man that song would have come in handy.

Oh ya. It was one of those days for sure. $23k job turned into a clusterfuck in a real hurry.

Shop owner and service manager were too afraid to make the phone call so guess who had to do it to keep the job moving.

I'll give you a hint, he has 2 thumbs.

You got to use a forklift to yank stuff off of a boat that wasn't even yours, and probably got paid to do it! Your day kicked ass 👍

Sometimes you have to do stuff, that you DONT get paid for and then have to break the bad news to your customer when that isn't your job either because nobody else will. It wasn't a great day. This guy just bought this boat and he got royally fucked. Surely you know how it is to have to make those phone calls.

I spent 4 hours on the phone with Volvo today trying to get him qualified for the drive Exchange program which was not easy or fun and got passed around between 4 agents that were located in Virginia, Canada, and Sweden. I was barely able to get him qualified and I feel like the only reason they pushed it through is because we are their "shit hit the fan warranty" dealer.
He is still going to be out of pocket far into the 5 figure range even after qualifying.


I made $60 today and it wasnt on that boat.

In that case, disregard post #15, and refer back to post #12...at least no ambulances were needed, nor law enforcement.

There's always a brighter shade of grey ;)
