Saturdays

What could go wrong on a Saturday? Well, during the week, a lot of things go wrong, but it pales in comparison to the amount of shit that goes wrong on Saturdays. I have no idea how the hell it can only happen on Saturdays. What the fuck happened to the law of odds? We have these Hummers on the road during the week and nothing ever happens to them then. Even if we did, we'd have another one to back it up if something did arise. But every Saturday, the electrical system in the Hummers go out leaving the back a dark mess with no air-conditioning, radio, or lights.

Personally, I would'nt be too opposed to that. I mean, you've got drinks and your friends, and if the weather's great, you could just open the window. But the customers we cater to, most aren't that simple. They are the type of people who request ridiculous things in order to feel special for the evening. Like red carpets.

But aside from that typical weekend-Hummer fiasco, the phone calls that people usually should make on a weekday, comes on the weekend. Like people calling about accounting information. And every situation that you come across you think to yourself, "Ah, I'll just deal with that on Monday. I've got way too many things to do right now." Sometime within the next hour (sometimes it actually happens right after that thought passes through my head) the phone will ring and it will be that person asking about that thing.

Then you've got the drivers calling about all these things because of all the things going wrong out there. It's just this never-ending cycle of things going wrong. It happens every weekend.
