I'm tired

I've contacted the Ministry of Government Services and lodged a complaint under The Consumer Protection Act.

I'm tired of being patient.
I'm tired of being fed excuses.
I'm tired of "hoping" that the owner will honour his word, and our contract.
I'm tired of giving him far more consideration than he's giving me.
I'm tired of being taken advantage of.

I wasn't going to lodge a complaint, but this last turn of events pushed my perception from, "nice guy, doing his best" to "guy who intentionally screwed me over for his own gain".

After all the time I've given him to make it right, after all the benefit of the doubt I've extended him? It's bullshit.

And I'm tired of the bullshit.

I'm hoping that the mechanic will get things done this week. I know he's stuck in the middle, and I did say that I didn't want him to rush the job, and I don't, that's not what this is about. It's not his fault, and I get that. But at some point I've got to draw a line, or this will never be over.

Hopefully by the time the ministry contacts me/them, we can both say "false alarm, it's all taken care of". That would be ideal.

Thanks to all the good friends who encouraged me to stop putting up with the shit.
