You would not believe what just happened!

I work for an attorney, in a building full of attorneys. There's also a travel agent. The landlord is putting in new carpet this weekend. We've been packing up all week. Tons of files, papers, office supplies all in neat boxes. Movers will come in the afternoon, and move all boxes and furniture. The carpet is due Sat and Sun and the movers will move everything back in on Monday.

Well, our rep from the landlord just came in and said the carpet is still at the mill in Georgia! They want to postpone for two weeks. That means I have to unpack most of the boxes and do it again in two weeks. Everyone in the building is so mad. We've only been here 3 years, but the other atty's have been here up to 15 years. They have so much stuff they boxed up.

My boss told the rep to go find carpet available here, and do it this weekend.

He left saying he'd see what he can do, but don't get our hopes up.

I can't believe this! He should have made sure the carpet was ready before he scheduled the job, IMHO.

I'd be upset too!

That carpet isn't in Dalton, Georgia is it?

He just said it was stopped at the mill in Georgia. Shannon, can you go check on it?

Yep, it's probably in Dalton, the carpet capitol of the South. I pass by it every weekend, tc... would you like me to put it in the trunk of my little Altima and haul it on up there???

BTW, I agree, he should've checked first.

Robin, according to another secretary here in the building, it's only an 18 hour drive. You and Michael are welcome to stay here if you can fit it in the Altima!

 

[Robinrs]

18 hours????

That's what I just spent on the expressway after picking up Michael today! Atlanta's traffic...

Thanks for the offer but uhh... no thanks!

If the landlord cannot get the carpet in as originally promised then I think he should be the one to unpack then repack everything!!
