It's been pretty quiet at the theater lately, what with the nice weather and all, but the last few days have been chilly and drizzly, giving business a nice bump. So of course, the plumbing acts up. On Saturday. Naturally.
Why can't the faucet in the mop room (conveniently located in the haunted west men's room) wait until Tuesday to refuse to turn off? Because plumbers don't charge overtime on Tuesday, Silly!

Posted by: Wind Rider at May 2, 2004 11:03 AMPlumbers have a good gig. They charge overtime for non-business hours. Most people are at work during business hours. When are you likely to have or notice a plumbing problem? When you're home during non-business hours.
Posted by: Rob at May 2, 2004 11:50 AMWe must have too many plumbers - they all make a point advertising around here that they don't charge weekend rates or overtime until 8PM. I have an older home, so I got to know the plumbers pretty well during the phased restoration and unforseen events - around here at least, I haven't been getting gouged.
Obviously, your mileage may vary!
