Worst Monday I have had on a job site in a long time

I showed up to a job over in Easton last week and the lift we rented was dead on arrival. Had to wait two hours for a replacement to come, which threw off the whole schedule. Then my wire feed welder started acting up halfway through the afternoon, just sputtering and jamming every few inches. I spent more time fixing the machine than actually burning rod. Ended up working until almost 10 pm just to get the tank patch done, and it was still sloppy. The foreman gave me some lip about the quality the next morning, like I had any choice in the matter. Has anyone else had a day where everything mechanical just decides to quit on you?
