I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

First off, the guy rescheduled both Wed and Thurs due to the heat, then comes out today and does the worst mowing job ever. Like, nevermind the patches he missed - he missed entire parts of the yard. So now it’s back to the drawing board as my mower is probably another week or two from being fixed.

I may just see if I can borrow a neighbor’s mower, pay them for gas, and do it myself. That’d be less work than trying to find someone who will do it again.

Here me out Spike: You could just let it grow a little extra long this week

It’d already been several weeks, and lots of it is thick. It’d be an absolute nightmare if I let it go too long.
