I am a self employed property renovator, I carry my kit with me because you never know when the opportunity may arise (and I can't be stuffed unloading it)
I have a good reputation so I have to be tactful when I just 'down tools at 20 knots'
Today I had just started tiling a bathroom. I had the first row on, and I heard the wind outside. I explained to the lady that to achieve a perfect job I must allow the first row to dry before working up the wall. Quick tidy up, see you tomorrow!!

I was painting a doctors surgery once, and had to tell them the high humidity was retarding the curing of the high quality paints, so I will come back in a few hours!!

I was building a deck a few weeks ago, and the angle of the afternoon sun would have warped the timber before I could have screwed it down! Better come back early in the morning!!

I have learned it's better to finish up and not return to work after sailing. The wet pants and silly grin makes people suspicious

can't do much about silly grin but have found if you toss off in the nude you can keep your pants dry

You're Good

I used to make ecuses when seeing a magic forecast, and cancel appts, "I've been called interstate so am gonna have to cancell, I can offer you....." or "I have been asked to attend my daughters school function, and will have to cancell......." I'm passed excuses now its just : "I need to cancell our appt, next available is....."
