A few days ago I found myself almost collapsed due to a series of seemingly trivial domestic damage: a toilet cistern decided to stop working, a window handle was knocked out of play due to a clumsy movement and a crack in the aluminum frame of a showcase He was threatening to drop one of the cabinet doors. Luckily, I live in a neighborhood where there are still workers to deal with this type of repair... Or so I thought.
I called the plumber about the cistern. As he is a man who, in an emergency, leaves everything to come, I told him that this time the issue was not critical and that he should come when he could. He called several times to apologize and it took a week to get through. “There are no plumbers who know how to make repairs and my son and I cannot cope. We reject many requests for not being able to meet them, ”he told me. Now I understand why my neighbor almost made me a monument the day that, urgently at home, I gave him his phone number. "It's a marvelous man," he told me. God willing it takes him a long time to retire."
I went to the workshop where years ago I ordered a window. It was closed sine die. A neighbor gave me the owner's phone number. The workshop had collapsed due to problems with the structure of the old building. “We had to close,” she explained to me. Since my window was dangerous, because people could sneak into the house, he came the same day. I asked him for a quote to change another window. She said she would send it to me, but she hasn't even insisted. He no longer works.
No luck with the window. “I know it's crazy, but there's no way to repair the frame. Nobody knows how to do it. You have to change all the doors of the cabinet”, the one from the kitchen store told me. I called my entire schedule of operators and, indeed, they agreed that those who knew how to do these repairs have already retired and there are no spare parts.
Total, a lot of virtual reality and a lot of multiverse, but it is difficult to find someone who deals with what happens in the world in which we live. There is no chat that fixes home breakdowns. At this rate, Apple's magnificent glasses will not be able to work for lack of working plugs.
