I just wish my garden service would be able to give a time. Even to within an hour. Some Mondays they're here by 07:30. Other times it's 09:00. Others it's 14:00 (admittedly it's rare for them to be that late, but it's feeling like today might be one of those days).
So I hit here wondering if they're going to arrive or not. A bit afraid to even go to the toilet because they might arrive just as I do. Not being able to plan anything on Mondays.
Plus Mondays seem to be a popular day for garden services on my block, because I keep hearing lawnmowers going and wondering, "Is that me?" (they always start their lawnmowers up when they get here, so they can start on the sidewalk while they wait for me to open up for them)
So I check my CCTV system and I don't see their bakkie... But are they maybe parked behind the wall just in the blind spot?
Did they arrive and I missed them? (They would try to phone, but I'm in a reception dead zone where I live, so more than likely the call wouldn't've gone through)
Oh well, first-world problems, I guess. ;-)
