Last Tuesday was my worst work day in years. Here is what happened.
I had three crews working three different jobs and every single one called me with a problem by 9am. Drywall batch was bad at one house, a homeowner changed their mind on color mid-roll at another, and my guy left his sprayer tip at the shop. Has anyone else had a day where everything fell apart at the same time?

You had 3 crews failing by 9am" that sounds rough but honestly not that uncommon. I had a buddy in commercial painting who got a call from the site supervisor at 6am saying the whole job was shut down because the building got flooded overnight. Then his helper got stuck in traffic and showed up two hours late. By noon his van got a flat tire and his spray rig broke down. He said he literally sat on a bucket in the parking lot for 10 minutes just staring at nothing. Some days the universe really picks a fight with you.
