Since the vote was unanimous in favor of Guppyman having his own domain, I gave him his early birthday present last night. I suspect he will play around with it and figure out all the things he can do with it before he lets anyone know it's there. It's a pride thing, you know.

I feel like I need to explain something from yesterday's post. Guppy & Stormii misunderstood, so maybe others did, too. My grandmother didn't hate me, she just didn't like me. She never gave me a box of rocks as a gift or locked me in a closet. She just never had any warmth for me, that's all.

I just got a huge compliment from a customer. I called to see if he wanted to get together over lunch one day next week and he said "For you? I'll cancel the appointment I already have and meet with you instead." Maybe I buy better lunches? This poor guy is old enough to be retired; in fact, he did retire a few years ago. In his first week of retirement he was painting the outside of his house when his son drove up and said "Dad, I've decided to go to medical school". He was back at work within a week! I think very highly of him, and I am honored that he apparently thinks well of me, too.

And that is the best part of my job -- I meet so many nice people. In that respect, it's just like blogging.

Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!
