I think I must not have gotten the favor of the Gods with this endevor of mine. Although we will be open for prom today as planned, the rest of the business will not be operational until Tuesday.:(
Why? Because I am cursed with some sort of ability to end up the the middle of the most strange and unusual situations possible.
So, they found the carpet and I stood in the parking lot yesterday feeling joy likened to that of a small child staring at the front entrance of Disney World as they began to unload it from the truck.
I left to make another equipment run and when we returned I was met with the whole construction AND painting crew in the parking lot, all masked with the kind of expression that one carries when they have to tell you that something terrible has happened.
I braced myself.....maybe the wrong color...maybe not enough....but NOOOOoooooooo....nothing "normal" for me.
While I was away, some chick patroning the gym beside me backed out of her space..(all the way across the parking lot, mind you) and ran completely over it.
She then pulled forward and backed up again, her tail pipe puncturing the whole damn roll, thus destroying a huge section of it and sped away.
So I'm thinking this morning that maybe this is a sign that I should have just painted the floors with garage paint and called it a day.

WTF?!
Well, this sounds like a good time to say something positive. Let's see.... Okay, never... umm no, that's not right. Okay, always umm.... no, that's not right either.
Wait a minute, I know what to do!
To a festive martini glass (or Dixie cup) add:
1 2/3 oz Gin
1/3 oz Dry Vermouth
1 Olive
I'm going to recommend about six of these, one every thirty minutes should do it.

Today was a success despite my butt-neckid reception area. Humor was in the air about the unfortunate "hit and run" and I was happy that they could laugh at my pain. I could not laugh but I did stand in the doorway and told myself that at least out of the drama hole.
That was, until I found out from a client that her confirmation call yesterday came from "Pets-Plus", the new business going in on the other side of me.
Apparently thay have hooked us up to the wrong box.:surprised:
I have a very cold beer in my hand right now and a cigarrette to boot. In a minute I am going to have more of the same. I am going to continue with this until I am free of the tension I have in my system. I am then going to take my sexual frustrations out on my husband after which I intend to sleep until an act of congress wakes me up.

I am so weak willed right now that I would give you one and let you put it out ON the carpet Charlie. Probably a good thing you are so far away. You are a better man than me. :)

Julienne, when your business reaches its inevitable success, the struggles you have gone through to get there will make it all SO MUCH sweeter!!
Nothing like standing back and being able to say to yourself, "despite everything that was thrown in my way, I KICKED BUTT!!"
( with a beer and a cigarette:big_smile: )
