Guess i'm last century. Called to have some outside work done, and figured they'd

(a longtime reputable contractor - won't deal with anyone less) would do the some 1/2 hour job, then send me the bill.  Nope.  i have to use my leave to be there to make the payment.  They knew my late husband, but they don't know me, and i wouldn't be surprised if they'd been burnt a few times before.  You'd think homeowners would pay on time, but evidently that sort of mindset is last century.  Anyway, the work is needed, and i'll be there, so they are paid.  Not happy to have to use leave - that's like a savings account ... oopps, there i go waxing last-century again :/

"The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again : but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth."  Psalm 37:21
