My worst nightmare came true:
In an effort to keep from having jobs overlap and having the higher paying jobs prioritized, I have managed to pretty much put myself out of work.
Short Story Long:
Just a few weeks ago, the point-man I deal with for my biggest job approached me at my suppliers with the question: "do you still want #13?"
"Yes, we're excited about it" I said...
And I preceded to let him know I would drive by from time to time to check status and he said he'd have the contract ready in a few days.
Few days pass, I decide to check on the status, weather has been bad, so I'm not too concerned.
Jimmy and I round the corner, and sure enough, only half the decking in on the roof, and there's probably a few more days left before they are ready for us...
except... there are electrical boxes hung...
Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
And they look an awful lot like my old partner's style of work...
So, I'm starting to see red, and I drive to the office of said GC. They're in a meeting and want me to give them a half hour.
Half hour passes, I've calmed down some...
Still in meeting, come back in 15...
So, I come back 15 minutes later, finally talking to the same point-man.
Here are the facts:
1) The crew my old partner, Joe works for now got the job "to keep them busy".
2) No one contacted me or tried to contact me.
3) The point-man works for a different division now and wasn't part of the decision.
4) I have turned down work in order to keep the time open for the job.
5) I have gained the reputaion of being the "Electrical Evangelist" and a "troublemaker".
That's why I'm back to doing rescue work...
