My lawn care company hasn’t billed me this year. I have no idea what is going on. They come to my house. They should have the address, and by coming to the house they have the option to drop off a bill. They also aren’t answering their phone or text messages and are an older company so have no web presence. This makes it somewhat difficult to get rid of them if I wanted to.
I do feel the need to move on. I would like to get out of this relationship. My bushes look like shit (that’s what she said). I really don’t like the lack of communication. It is one of the foundations of my company and I like to work with people that work like me. Clear communication, punctuality, the same service every time. That is what I want.
Instead we have no communication, grass mowed at random times, no idea if my bushes are going to be trimmed. I am confused, I am lost, and I don’t know how to fire these people if I wanted to. It is a strange situation to be in.
It does feel like it is time to move on. The out of control bushes are a side effect of numerous underlying issues. This is something that needs to be taken care of, and if I can get this 1031 on the path to completion today then so much will get so much better. It will be one thing off my plate. I can sit back and wait for closing and then wait for the places to be rented. After getting a ratified contract my job is to call Dominion and the City and transfer services to the company name.
I honestly hate calling Dominion. Not because it is difficult but because it is too easy. It is crazy how easy it is to get an electric bill in your name. When my father passed and I had to start paying that bill I called and boom it was in my name. Everywhere else needed a death certificate and letter of authorization or the POA for my mother or all three. It was a crazy time and Dominion just transferred the bill to my name with no documentation required.
I think we’ll see what happens today. This is the day the lawn care company usually comes. I am going to need to ambush them and see if they can give me a bill and then maybe tell them not to come back. It isn’t working out anymore. My bushes need more tender, loving care.
