But I can't. My husband is a contractor, so when people call I have to be nice. I really wish some conversations could go more like this:
Caller 1 (calling at 11:30 am): Is your husband home?
Me: No, I am sorry he is working right now. May I take a message for him?
Caller: Well, I figured he would be home since I couldn't reach him on his cell
Me: I am sorry, he isn't.
Caller: Where is he?
Me saying what I really want: My tracking device is broken right now, so I really can't say for sure!
Caller 2: Is your husband home?
Me: No, I am sorry he is working.
Caller: Well, I just need him to move a toilet for me. I am working on the bathroom and thought he could move our toilet for me because it's in the wrong spot. It should only take him a couple of minutes.
Me saying what I really want: Sorry, I am using the magic wand to clean the house today.
Caller 3: Is your husband home?
Me: No, I am sorry. He is working.
Caller: I wanted to know if he would be able to do a job for me in a couple of weeks.
Me: That won't be possible. He is working on a major project right now. He won't be finished until the beginning of June. Actually, he is booked until the Fall.
Caller: Well, he could probably fit me in if he really wanted to.
Me saying what I really want: Yeah, as soon as he pulls everyone else out of his rear!
Caller 4: Is your husband home?
Me: No, I am sorry. He is working.
Caller: Can you ask him to call me?
Me: Sure. What is your phone number.
Caller: It is xxx-xxxx
Me: Okay. I don't know what time he will be home, but I will make sure that he calls.
Caller: Well, what time will that be?
Me saying what I really want: Sorry, the kids are outside playing with the crystal ball right now, so I really don't know.
Ugh! Honestly some people just don't get it. Some days I think it would be easier to stand on my head and poop nickels. {{{SIGH}}}
