That Tuesday when three jobs went sideways before 10 AM

Two weeks ago I had a straight up nightmare of a day. First job I showed up to, the homeowner decided they wanted a different color than what we mixed, no heads up. Then my sprayer clogged on the second house and I had to drive 40 minutes to the supply house for a new tip. To top it off, one of my guys texted me saying he wasn't coming in because his truck battery died. By noon I was sitting in my van eating a gas station sandwich wondering if I should just go home. Has anyone else had a day where literally everything decides to break at once?

That feeling when you're three jobs deep and realize you forgot to account for daylight savings on your schedule. Showed up to a place and nobody was home for twenty minutes cause the clocks were still off in my head.

Wait til you hit the third house and realize you grabbed the wrong bucket of paint off the truck. I did that once and didn't catch it til the whole living room was done. Had to repaint everything the next day. Sounds like your morning was a solid practice run for a real disaster though.
