| ahh, freaking nightmare. he cut a piece of sheetrock and brought it over before he undid the temporary coverage and what he thought was solid sheetrock that he was planning on fitting it into was just garbage. i tried to tell him he needed to cut away more, but now he thinks he can just plaster it up, and unless he is the fucking michaelangelo of plastering, it is bound to look like shit. that it will be absolute shit is beyond question. did i mention i wasnt paying? this entire time ive been hoping the asian dude who tiled up my bathroom a couple of years ago would become available knowing this guy did not have the skills to pull it off. the asian dude is a pro and would never have cut out that piece before clearing out as much of the ceiling as was required. im positive that it would have been taped and mudded before he left. this guy forgot to buy tape. he also had the wrong screws. i just happen to have some sheetrock screws from god knows when laying around i saw him on the street the other day, the asian dude as he was wrapping an old mattress and boxspring in cellophane, as its the law that they must be wrapped i assume for bed bugging reasons. i tried to see if he was available finally four month later but in his broken english he demurred telling me he was leaving at the end of the month to move back to malaysia. of course i took it personally. i cursed him and the landlord across the street who had left me with his sloppy seconds of a handyman the last straw was when he marked up the very nearly pristine wall in the other room by grabbing at the sheetrock he had leaned up against it with his grubby grubby grubby mitts. and this wasnt a fingerprint or two. this was a toddler with fingerpaints on a mission sloppy. i may have called him a motherfucker. ok, there was no "may" about it. he was too busy continuing to act like a motherfucker in the bathroom to take offense. did i mention i broke my glasses moments before? yeah, that happened too just moments before the mets second baseman was stretchered off with a broken leg victim of a terrible slide. adding insult to injury, they ruled the second baseman hadnt touched the base as he was knifed down and the player was safe. the game got away from them right then and there much like my glasses from my head and my temper from my mouth and my soon to be shitty bathroom ceiling from my grasp.
