We're having construction work done on our house and they're doing a great job but there are some little things that I don't like how they're doing them. We had a new door put in and they're saying it's warped and I just figured out the door's fine, but they didn't install it correctly (because they didn't read any directions, having put doors on a million times before they're "above" that sort of thing; GRRR they haven't put on THIS door before :-) but I was showing my husband and explaining to him anda he was being clueless too and we ended up in an argument but I finally got across to him I wanted the parts that weren't put on (we had two bumpers and a bagful of screws that weren't needed!!???) a couple bumpers to be put on and I think they'll help the "problem" we're having with the door!
But, because I'm so angry at the "men" for not figuring it out and my having to figure it out (by looking carefully and not trying to blame the poor door :-) and because "they" had the screen door on downstairs upside down AND inside out and I had to figure that out and get my husband to help me reverse it so it worked right, I get too upset to speak rationally (keep a "civil tongue in my head" as my brother use to caution me) I asked my husband to deal with the contractor so I wouldn't have to get in any more arguments. Sometimes I realize I should work harder at explaining myself so others understand and other times I just get tired and feel like I'm the only rational person on the planet :-) which is a bad corner to paint myself into but I do it anyway.
