aka: Where have you been?
I am down working the desk for one day, as my boss is sick. He refuses to take the day off, but I get sent there by his wife (and my other boss) to try and at least take off some of his duties. I get a call for winterization.
For those not 'in-the-know' winterization is typically done BEFORE winter. We take your boat, do a lot of fancy stuff, and then your boat doesn't implode during the winter. (It's not quite like that, but it does help prevent mice from using your motor as a nest, your battery from dying, your gas lines from rotting prematurely, ect.)
SC: What do you charge for shrinkwrap?
Me: Hang on, I got a form for that. What kind of boat do you have?
SC: Pontoon.
Me: $xxx.
SC: THAT much? Are you kidding me?
Me: No, I am not.
SC: I'll-just-tarp-it-bye!
Me:....
Also for reference:
Tarp= throwing something over the boat
Shrinkwrap: It's like this for your boat.
Note: I probably posted this, but the whole 'mice nest in the engine' thing has happened, and it means your engine is gone. We had one of our customers, known as the pharmacist, (no points as to why she's called that) call us repeatedly after we discovered that her motor had a nest in it, asking us to fix it. We kept telling her to get a new motor, but she still wanted us to do the complete wire-work it would take to fix it.
