Plumber finally left. I was ready to chew the guy out when he walked through the door except once I saw him I saw he was clearly not marching to the same music the rest of us hear, so no point in ranting any more than I'd already ranted at him on the phone. (Him: "I said after 1pm Friday." Me: "Yeah, but when you did I assumed sometime in the neighborhood of 1pm, not a situtation where you could've showed up at 3pm Saturday and still consider yourself to have arrived on time!")
Good news: shower is fixed. Bad news: my plans for today were totally fucked because I wanted to to go stores that closed 20 min ago. Could've gone to them if I'd known I'd be waiting this long, but can't do it now.
Which is just as well since the bill for all this turned out to be three times what I was expecting. On the plus side, wanting to be sure I could afford to go shopping is part of why I wanted to get the plumber overwith in the first place. On the down side, I was looking forward to it.
So now I'm poor, grumpy, and depressed.
Phooey.
