Was wide awake until almost 4am and completely forgot an electrician was coming to fix my flickering downlights at 8:30am. He arrived 3 minutes early (my alarm goes off at 8:30am) and it scared the shit out of me. My door buzzer thing (it's more of a ringing than a buzz) very rarely goes off these days so I spent a good 20 seconds wondering what the hell the sound was.
All sorted now though. No more strobe party lights in my kitchen.
A tradie turned up early? Yeah sure.
Yeah definitely doesn't sound right... maybe it was a dream, and the lights are still flickering and you're sleep-posting @bull? =)
*drools on keyboard*
I think a tradie came to do something or another earlier this morning. I say I think because I didn't answer the door. Sounds like a bit of a dick move, but I'm not allowed to let tradies in without the program leader being present, and I can't sign off or agree to their work. They know that they have to call her first (it's in the contract they have with the company and always put in the job notes) or they don't come in, but they never do. And they're usually, well... Tradies, so I don't bother anymore
