Today the plumbers showed up around 8:30.
They went out to the kitchen and began work. I came in to the computer in the living room and began working on the story about President Trump stopping the use of aborted fetal parts in research. After a little while I got up and went to the kitchen. Both of the plumbers were gone. The job was not done. I had not heard them leave. My hearing is not the greatest, and when I am involved researching information online I tend to block things out anyway.
Now what?–I couldn’t leave the house in case they came back while I was out. I had to get to the store today. 
It was very irritating and frustrating. I called my landlord and he said they would call him when they were finished, so they were obviously not finished. After about 45 minutes (although it seemed a lot longer at the time) they returned with a snake. I guess they did not have it on their truck.
Twenty minutes later, they were done–sink works great, nice new pipe under there, all good.
One more hurdle accomplished.
What will tomorrow bring?
God bless everybody,
Patty
Why don’t these people communicate.
I think there might have been a language barrier, but they could have let me know, somehow.
Even gestures would have helped.
They must have walked right past me and I never heard them.
Plumbers are thought to possess shape shifting capabilities. Anything to avoid having to actually talk to someone.
I was truly flabbergasted when I realized they had left.
