That one Tuesday in Phoenix where nothing went right

Had a commercial job in Phoenix back in July. 112 degrees. Panel location was wrong in the plans. Had to move it 40 feet. Ran out of 22/4 halfway through. Customer kept asking if we could finish by 3. Felt like the whole day was a setup.

Not really seeing how this is "setup" material, @rodriguez.mia. The panel being off is just bad drafting, happens on like half the jobs I've worked. And running out of 22/4 mid-job? That's on whoever loaded the truck that morning, not some cosmic plan against you. Phoenix in July is hot, yeah, but you knew it was gonna be hot when you took the work. Whole thing reads like a normal crappy Tuesday to me.

Man I've heard Phoenix summers are NO joke. My buddy did a job out there last August and said the heat alone makes everything ten times harder. That whole running out of wire halfway through is just the icing on the cake for a day like that.

Man, did the customer actually think you could finish by 3 with all that going on... or were they just clueless about the heat?
