well hello again to everyone here, i was in europe for the last month and just got home last night.

today i check my voicemail, a lady from a company called me (3 weeks ago) and said that her company will be having a car show on august 7, and they have 12, yes TWELVE chevy volts that need to be detailed and to call her back. i of course was 7,000 miles away, and forgot to change my voicemail greeting (to say that ill be gone for a month).

wow. there goes a profitable opportunity.

ill call her monday and apologize.

ugh.

[A.P.A.D.]

call her back today and do an all nighter!

that does suck seeing that she probably went elsewhere.

why 12 volts? those the 100% electrical cars?

GM called me back in march to detail 12cars for a car show. I was on fl and they were going to stl. I stated I was in fl but would travel. I called them the morning that I was leaving to confirm we were still on. They said yes come on up. I told them stl is calling for a chance of rain they said don't worry we will take care of you. I got half way home and they called and canceled. I was livid! No that's money down the drain.

man, now that does suck!! I would be pissed too.. I wear pretty powerful hearing aids since my I am almost deaf. Sometimes I don't hear my phone cause of the generator and I don't feel the vibration in my pants (well the phone anyways):eek:

Anyhow, the other day I had a missed call and a voicemail from a guy wanting to schedule a detail and I called him back when I saw the missed call. I called him back within 9 minutes of his call and he said he already found a detailer.. dang!!!!!!!

I guess it wasn't meant to happen. I just think maybe it was a good thing and that he had a minivan with dog/kid barf and rotten shrimp under the seat or something like that...

yup those are the ones. i dunno, she just said "were going to be attending a car show in your area and need 12 chevy volts to be cleaned and detailed."

its not even about the money. i just started out and getting a job like this would most definately get me more jobs in the future from word of mouth. oh well, ill call her monday and tell her ill give them a discount next time.

Why are you complaining? You were in Europe. Would you rather think about the money your are missing while your are in Europe?

Just enjoy life man.

I would have threatened to sue them if they didn't reimburse your travel costs. That is BS!

Aww man that really sucks. I hope you had a good trip though. If the oppurtunity ever comes knocking again and you need a hand let me know.
