  • Bad Days

    From George Pope@1:153/757 to Erich B. on Wed Mar 1 08:46:40 2023
    Do you get those bad days when everything goes wrong?

    I used to until I stopped allowing them. . .

    I wake up expecting to have a good day every day, & I do!

    It's much better than never being sure & occasionally getting those rotten ones. .

    Hi Erich...

    A few days ago, a customer visited my shop, and claimed to have lost an earrin >during the visit. Nothing was spotted on the floor. I suggested they leave m
    their phone number and I could call if I ever found the earring. That was over a week ago, and I just spotted the earring.. and it WASN'T on the floor!
    Meanwhile, I had decided to toss away my note with their phone number early on
    thinking that this was a waste of time. Now I wish I had thought of entering the number into my book database as a kind of note to myself.

    Now you need to wait & hope they return to the shop, eh, so you can say, "I would've called you sooner,but I lost your number" only to hear them say they tossed the other earring, as keeping one mismatched one wasn't worthwhile?

    Hello George Pope!

    That's quite an oldie message you're replying to. I think my
    original was in May '22. I still have the earring.
