Yesterday was a very interesting day for me. I hosted a Steemians in my house and he did something for me that I'll like to share with you guys and thank him for.
The Story
It all started in January when I got a new apartment and the Estate manager went on and on promising to do a lot of things which he ended up not doing. One of the things he promised to do was that he would fix a broken ceiling in the bathroom. There were many other things he promised to do and which he didn't do but after weeks of complaining and reminding him, I decided it's best I just fix the things with my own money. I fixed the door and many other things but the broken ceiling was in the bathroom and it wasn't really a pressing issue so I just left it. One of the reasons I fixed the things was that I was always traveling and I wanted to fix things quickly and I was busy handling so many things.
The cost of hastily fixing the things and getting things done quickly was lower than the what it would cost me to run after the elusive Estate manager.
Immediately I got home, the estate manager came with his tools and aid and fixed the broken ceiling. I was amazed at his fast response. When he was done, he asked me if there was any other thing I needed and begged me not to blow up the issue and that I should report to
I learned something very important from this event that happened yesterday. One of the things I learned was that most artisans respond only to force. There was a time I paid a carpenter to fix my wardrobe which was infested with termites. It took about a month of incessant calling and shouting before he did the job. What if I just intimidated him with force?
Anyways, I'm grateful for friends like
Unscrupulous: having or showing no moral principles; not honest or fair.
