Had a week where everything that could go wrong did go wrong in Phoenix
Last month I had one of those weeks in Phoenix where I should have just stayed home. Monday I showed up to a new install and the panel was dead out of the box. Had to drive 45 minutes back to the shop for a replacement. Tuesday I was running a wire through an attic and stepped through a ceiling sheetrock in a customer's hallway. That was an awkward conversation and an extra $200 out of my pocket for the repair. Wednesday I got to a service call and the customer said the system was beeping, but they didn't know why. Turned out the backup battery was from 2016 and had swollen up like a balloon. Thursday I had three cancellations in a row because people forgot they had appointments. By Friday I was so worn out I accidentally left my drill on a roof and had to go back for it. Has anyone else had a stretch of bad luck like that where you just question your career choices?

Man I had a week like that back in May. Dropped my phone in a客户的 toilet and then locked my keys in the car.
