I’m talking to a contractor I’m hiring to do some repairs on The Hedgehogs.
“When can you start?” I ask.
“Any time,” he says. “I can start on Wednesday morning, if that works for you.”
“Good!” I say. “Let’s start at 10 am on Wednesday then.”
“Right. . .” the contractor responds without enthusiasm. “Or, you know, I could start in the morning.”
“OK, then. At 9 am on Wednesday,” I suggest.
“Sure. Or, I mean, I could get there in THE MORNING and start working.”
“At 8 am then, OK, I’ll see you on Wednesday at 8,” I blurt out as fast as I can, fearful of discovering what a contractor’s definition of “morning” really entails.
