We need someone to create a show of Atticus watching this show. Meta reality TV!

Re: A Friendly Correction for those Man-Haters who Delve to be Single

We are doing some work on our house. The last bill for a change order that we got from the general contractor seemed too high, so we asked for more detail. When we got that, things still didn't add up. In the scheme of things, that bill is not that much money, but now we are wondering about other bills we've paid.

So come to find out this morning that the contractor's project manager for our work has been let go. The thought occurs that he has been up to something. Also, the GC may not want to tell us what they know. How should we deal with this?

so much in this is like when an expert witness turns on the billing AFTER the close of the date to name an expert- you trusted him and you are stuck. I might try the approach of showing him your continued questions on the last change order. say something like "any future change orders please let the new project guy know I want to be in the loop initially" or some such shit- and forget about the "not much money." Guilt: it's what's for supper!

Why not ask the GC to review recent bills with you because you have some questions about them? He may have answers. He may not, and if he doesn't have answers then he should be willing to lower the bills without needing to tell you why. Giving you back a few hundred bucks (or more) isn't going to be as costly to him as explaining his project manager had his hand in the till.

Personally, I think you should try to fuck the GC's wife.

I could come up with a better answer, but I bill for that.

So if I send you a couple hundred bucks a week the quality of what you post will improve? RT direct my donation funds over to Sidd's paypal.

Bill Simmons' suspension is a joke.

Well, it's good to know that blaming the victim of domestic abuse for her contribution to getting knocked the fuck out is worth about 33% of the punishment that calling Goodell a liar warrants.
