No kidding, after getting 6 cubic yards of dirt delivered to the street in front of my house I got 4 calls within 14 hours. As it turns out I couldn't have commuted in time for sign in on any of the trips anyway so the dirt was only a distractor anyway
. I missed a (NYC 717b relativity here...) nice one this weekend when scheduling called just after I turned off my phone to commute home that ended up going out of base. Nice in that I was already in town, it was 2 days, and I could've commuted home at the end.
