The three main things I heard him say were:
URGENT
Oil well location
Already called XYZ (the local firm)
The main thing he heard me say was:
NO THANK YOU
I do not tolerate so-called urgent jobs. Especially from a brand of client famous for either never paying or only paying after being hauled into court. XYZ has done a lot of oil well location work in the past. They learned the hard way that doing work and getting paid for it are two very different things when dealing with the sleazeballs in this area.
I have no problem with them. As soon as I receive the check the well is staked. It's amazing how direct deposit speeds things up!!

Crisis-hoes....yawn...
I even asked one a year or so ago to please lose my phone number. He must have..haven't heard from him since.
Had a Realtor (that I have never worked for before) call Wednesday:
"I need a survey for a house that we are closing on Friday"
Me: "Maybe, where's it located".
(He was in luck it was the same direction as my planned work for Thursday.)
Him: "How much will it cost."
Me: "You do not get to ask how much for a rush survey on a million dollar house sitting on the bay".
Him: "oh"

I like that
I like it very much as I sit here finishing off a rush concept for an attorney for a meeting with the local regional planning commission in the morning. But I get a rush from burning midnight oil; there is something about the time of day that appeals to me.
Has been nearly 30 years since I staked well locations in Ohio. Was approached by a local drilling firm, made a few checks with other suppliers & was told they were good to work with. Did work for them in three counties. Then the industry hit one of the down turns and work stopped. Understand that area is going great now.
I am with Carl on this one.
Many :good: 's
My local seamstress has a sign in her shop: "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." For her it's young ladies in need of a prom dress the day of the senior prom.
i have that sign at my desk 😀
"You do not get to ask how much for a rush survey on a million dollar house sitting on the bay".
That's the best answer I've ever seen to a situation like that!
