    Jackpot!!!!

    So I get this phone call about 2pm today. The man on the other end is telling me, not asking, to come right now and pick up air conditioner at his motel. Im having a hard time understanding what he is saying because of different language barrier. After I get his address I haul *ss over there because he said too, or he would call someone else. To be honest, the only reason I went was because I happen to be just a few miles away.
    So after I show up and go into the front office like instructed, I have to wait outside patiently. And wait...and wait........ and wait............... Finally, the little man appears and orders me to move my trailer to the back fence. He calls me behind the fence and tells me to start loading it ALL! Im speechless!!!!!!!!!!! 15 a/c units, 4 stoves, and 2 heavy metal cabinets. But thats not all? He then ask me to return so I can get whats on the other side of the motel. 30 more a/c units, 25 metal bed frames, about 50 old appliances, lots of misc. metal too much......................... to list. While im loading the ac's he ask me if I would help him move things in the future for free? He said things like coke machines, ice machines, anything he might need. Of course, I said. He then said good, but I wan't you to come straight over here when I do call you, just like you did today. ( He barks alot of orders , but hey, I can take orders for $$$$$$$$ ). It gets better, as im leaving with the first load he ask what time I will be arriving to finish the job. I told him tomorrow morning, he was expecting it later tonight. I had to explain to him that when he called me, I only understood I was to pick up only one a/c unit and Ihadn't prepared for all this with so short notice. He said if I would return in the morning and finish it all up , he would then take me to all of his other motels, his family's motels, and all his friends motels to do the same type of cleanup.
    Im gonna have to start eating my wheaties! I already got some helper's lined up for in the morning. Just thought I would share this story with all.
