Dear Painter Dude

"This is getting old. You said you'd be here on June 15 to finish the job. You said you were leaving your home in Square State last week. I want to know where you are. I want to know when you'll be here. I want to know when you'll finish the job. And I want to know if you've decided to skip out altogether with the [foolishly] paid in advance money we sent you. I will be calling you again and again and again to find out."

Or so I said to a voice mail because Painter Dud didn't answer his phone (and no, that's not a typo).

Damn I hate being a hard ass.
