Just learned who is supplying wood for my home remodel. Via certified letter. Nothing like “We are proud to supply this for you” or “Thanks for being a customer and we look forward to working with your team” or “Thank you for supporting our business.” Only, the wood costs this much. If your contractor doesn’t pay, we will put a lein on your property until payment is received.

I don’t care who you are used to working with or what you have been through, that is a fucked up way to start a relationship. But? We see you. We understand who we are dealing with and will respond accordingly. And then? Never again.

Well, then. Apparently Ford would like us to know about the new Mustang. As a mild gearhead, I’m seeing it announced simultaneously on several feeds I follow.

Apple, Sometimes the “St.” abbreviation stands for Saint, instead of Street. Siri was giving me directions toward Street Paul, this evening. #apple #ios #carplay #siri #turnbyturn #maps #directions #indian #voice1

Disappointed myself tonight. Needed to meet a client at work, after I had already been home, because of an action I forgot to take during the work day. Mission accomplished, in the end. But I have done better, and without needing to come in after hours.

Dear Vendor,

When you leave me a message saying I’m eligible for a discount, but you have not simply applied the discount, I know you want me on the phone where you can upsell me to spend more.

Not today. Thank you for calling.

Respectfully,

Hjalmer

First time visit to Bauer Brothers Salvage today was purposeful, to get a piece we had seen online. Let me just say, for old house people, it’s a wonderland. Lots to love!
