i need some help doing it as i seem to have a short temper and say things i shouldn't.
at the moment and for the past week and a half my bike has been away having the exhaust made. I took it for the bloke to have a look at on the 30th on jan and he said "yep fine I'll do it but im away working in york on some train carriage for the next week but I'll be able to make a start on it the following week (the 8th, yesterday) and i'll phone you" i said ok but can i leave the bike with you now as im away next weekend and can only get a transit at weekends....... he said yes.
anyway yesterday came and went with no phone call so i decided to pay him a visit, his colleague came to the reception and said that they had had a last mine rush job come in that needed to be done by the evening but they had discussed about the bike and what they were thinking about doing, i said fine i understand about getting given rush jobs ect and he told me to come back tomorrow evening.
This evening I've gone back and the main man who i spoke to answered reception and apologised to say he still hasn't had time to do it but he had moved it today into the office so its out of the way and showed me where it was, i was a little bit disheartened but thought he obviously hadn't forgotten about it. I asked if i could borrow a tape measure as i needed to cheack something and we both went into the work shop to get one, after finding it i noticed a train carriage in there so i said "oh is this what you went up to your for then" to which the response was "nah this is another job from Bournemouth"............... i had to bite my lip for a second as my usual response would have been "why the feeb are you taking on more work when mine is sat there waiting to be done ya *****", but i don't want to cause any friction as he's sort of doing it as a cash in hand favour type thing and its not his usual type of work so i said "oh i see......" quite slowly. He told me to comeback on friday and the temp pipe will be done, so i said ok
now im pretty much 75% sure that on friday when i go back it wont be done, my usual response would be just to take the bike away and tell him where to go but he's the only one in Southampton area that's been willing to take it on so i don't want to cause friction but at the same time i want it done :lol:, so what do i say? i basically need it done by next weekend (20th) as i need to start spraying it and have had to leave 2 primed panels on the bike for him to work around
