Good news? The quote-turned-to-order that had such bad karma yesterday was still on “manager hold” this morning… which was GOOD NEWS!! Because I’d entered it under the WRONG ACCOUNT! I re-keyed the entire [mess] and, well, it went back *on* “manager hold”, which turned out to be MORE GOOD NEWS!! Because the customer decided he needed to provide *better* information about the material he wanted!! So! Very Good News all around, because nothing got cut, nothing got wasted, and no material got moved unnecessarily!!
So, really, what may seem like “bad news” at face value really can hide Good Stuff!!
Carl did not expect to be working with 2 little girls this week, but he is (found out Sunday afternoon) – and it is going really well. [Different jobs have different demands.]
I got to spend 3 days with my grandaughters! We went to the Woodward Dream Cruise, Great Grandpa Schell’s in Royal Oak, the Rennaisance Festival, and then HOME to play.
