HOW TO ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF A ELECTRICIAN.

-Call the sparky after lunch on Friday or before a public holiday weekend.

- Hassle him to fit you in.

- Estimate the time and ease of job. (They like that) explain that it is a five minute job that you could do yourself if “only you had the time.”

- Negotiate the smallest most inconvenient window of booking opportunity. (I have to go to the gym or some other more important engagement than your f**ked board, will smooth this over.)

- Ask for a fixed price. (Even if its a burnt wire or stuffed RCD) When the sparky refuses to be nailed down, some jovial comment like “I should have been a lecky” will keep the negotiation nice and light.

- Tell him that you will run it by your wife and call back in five.

- Call ten other sparky's and then phone back. If he answers the phone again and arrives be sure to be in the shower or on the way home.

- Show him the job which does not vaguely resemble what you described.

- Ask him to move his van. Someone needs to get their car out and it clearly cant wait the “five minutes”.

- Show him where the problem is. Explain how you cant find the key to the side gate and he will have to lug his equipment around.

- Now is probably a good time to point out that the problem appeared on Monday.

- Embark on a long winded story involving names of people he could not give a toss about, and every completely unrelated event leading to this moment in time.

- Share your half cocked theory on what is going on. (“Missing phase ?)

- Tell them one of your close relatives was a Sparky. (He will be extremely interested and it will create a sense of kinship between you)

- Explain that you would be quite capable of doing the job and that you have done heaps of electrical work in the past. (He will love to hear that his knowledge, skills and necessary equipment amount to being a glorified handyman.)

- Tell the sparky that normally you use a different spark but he was not answering his phone.

- Wait until he is nearly finished and ask him if he has time to embark on the dreaded “Friday tap marathon”. There are no sweeter words on a Friday afternoon at 3 pm than “while I've got you here”

- Make sure your french bulldog licks his tools and nibbles his test leads.

- Watch the sparky closely. The electrical skills you gleaned from your family member will place you well to critique his every action.

- Pull out some parts you picked up from Bunnings 10 years ago. (No sense wasting huh?)

- Keep locking the door. It may be a minor inconvenience for the sparky to keep having to ask you to unlock it whenever he needs to go to his truck, but home invasions are on the rise.

- Grill the sparky over why he has to leave site to pick up part for your Chinese imported switchboard. That you “got a great deal on”.

- Complain about the invoice and whinge to all your mates about the sparky's price and unpleasant demeanor.

- Call a week later and say “Ever since your guy was here, the refrigerator light isn’t coming on”
