The painted enamel top table is finally finished.
One month’s work completed, with a new leg and rebuilt drawer.
When Kelli sent off a note to the customer, all we got as a response was “very nice”.
Very nice? Was that all she had to say? That pissed me off, so I increased the price.
Petty, I know, but the amount of actual work that went into it, stripping the old paint off the top took about two days, so I don’t feel bad at all.
We took the dogs out for a walk, and covered our usual route. Ahead we saw another lady with a dog walking towards us. Of course our dogs freaked out, wining and barking, and generally getting exciting. The other lady, not wishing to get involved in a dog fight turned around and walked back the way she came, but in a rather indecisive manner.
She walked back in the direction we were taking but slowly, making her dog constantly looking behind, and ours continued to get excited.
Why the lady couldn’t have walked UP the road and waited until we had gone in the opposite direction, then she could have doubled back, then continue on her original route. Instead we had to wait until she was much further ahead, then walk slowly so we didn’t catch her up.
Kelli was annoyed at the person’s speed, and remarked “Is we can’t walk any faster, I will fall over”, eventually we got to our road and the situation got resolved.
Another Lifetime to go
