Wake 'n bake.

Woke up, after a good restful kip, after falling asleep on the sofa; to a very enjoyable repast of chocolate choc-chip muffins, mint with dark chocolate chip icecream,  with fine little grains of crunchy dark chocolate sprinkled densely all throughout the icecream too, a can of cold grolsch from the fridge, and a 2 liter carton of lychee juice. And a custard filled donut to finish off with.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

Saw a friend and fellow flea market vendor who I haven't seen in a few months  at an estate sale and had a nice talk.

Was contacted by the European head of a company interested in my services.

  That's excellent!  Would it be a full-time position, or just consulting on the side?  :)

Good customerservices on the phone!!!

Yes, they do exist. Had placed an order for a phone for one of the kids. Would get a call in 1 to 5 working days. Did get no call. Could not get through calling myself for a couple of days. Finally succeeded. Did the lady tell that they had just sent me an email that the order could not be followed through because that phone wasn't available anymore. Told her I found that odd, because online, I could still place the same order. Then she noticed that 30 shops still had it in store. She told me she'd call back ASAP. And she did, she ordered it from another store.

She deserves a medal. Most of the time those phone sellers are not interested in their customers at all is my experience. She did a bit extra. Come Wednesday or Friday I can pick it up.

Beats the usual offering, hyke. My old man recently told me about having to ring up customer services about his router, can't remember the exact details. But basically the meat of it was a chinese person on the other end who could barely be understood, and had no idea whatsoever what even 'reboot the router' meant, let alone the actual problem. No idea if they were based IN china, or if they were simply chinese and living here, but they were complete and utter tech eejits that probably couldn't safely be trusted to press the 'on' switch, or stick a plug in a wall socket. Let alone fucking tech support. They needed to receive, not give it.

My guess would be a full-time position, but I don't know yet. I'll have a chat with them sometime next week.

I got a call about going to look at a 76 unit apartment complex that is having problems with noise between units.

Had a very productive meeting with some people. Productive meetings are rare.

Finally reached the clearing at the end of the path.  Took a couple of oaths and joined the league of licensed attorneys.
