No, I called the tradie and he told me he’s not working. I just met the REA as she was in the building and she’s arranged for someone else to come let me in. Hopefully this one comes soon.
What I don’t understand is, how does the REA not know that the tradie is not working? How did they assign him a job without checking??? 🙄
most of them dont know. Trades HATE using the REA’s platform because the REA’s platform is often dogshit or worse try to charge the trade to use it (by the platform owner, not the REA). plus REAs are just customers of the tradies, so the tradies dont necessarily tell the REA that they are going on holiday. Even if they did (and some do) most systems dont have the capability to mark the trade as absent till X date.
Long story short: its a process less hellhole of organization.
If you have an old myki or something like that on you though, you might be able to (depending on the lock) slide that in where the latch is and it open the door as it triggers the mechanism.
It’s similar to how V/Line allocates emergency replacement buses.
They have a big list, and start calling the first one. If they can’t do it, they get bumped down the list and they call the next bus operator on the list, until they have a hit.
It’s much easier than having to track the availabilities of every operator.

Is it the locking mechanism that’s broken or the door swelling because of the recent humidity?
Glad you’ve got someone on the way! I’m just intrigued.
Not sure! Probably the former if I had to guess
.
I don’t have anything sharp on me unfortunately so I just have to wait for the tradie to save me :(
Hope the tradie has saved you already!
