Business acumen

26.11.2007 19:19 Where’s the business acumen when I need it the most? Had a friend call the agency today to arrange for the repair of the air conditioner and the dish-washer. They rang back to say between 18.00-18.30 this evening. Here I am at 19:20 still waiting…I’m hungry and want to make dinner but I don’t want to eat in the middle of them arriving. Somebody has indeed been in my flat though and switched on the dish-washer which is now since more than an hour just staying at the same place making the same noise. Told’m it wasn’t working. They thought I didn’t understand how to operate a dish-washer. Well, guess I will keep on waiting for that business acumen and timeliness the guidebook so proudly stated!
