Happiness, Working, Facebook

Well the day was a day alright. I had a new client today that I massively under-quoted. But it's ok... I'm still making money on the account, just less than I am used to. I think I'll just hire this one out to my friend Randy who is always happy to do this kinda stuff.

It was kind of weird. The receptionist who contacted me was showing me around. She is the person who originally contacted me and she informed me that someone would be in touch next week sometime, but that it wouldn't be her because she was getting layed off. Yikes. I played like she just told me she would be on vacation. She's nice though. Maybe she'll recommend us to her new boss when she finds a place.

Ron and I went for a nice long walk tonight. He is angry that his old flame has taken so much of his time lately, so he has quit facebook... 3 times today! Laughs... what a champ. It would seem though that third times the charm, because I dont see him on my friends list right now. I know he's not happy, so I try to just listen to his problems. Most people with problems just want you to listen... so that's what I try to do.

My wife is pretty down. She wants to quit her job, which we absolutely can't afford right now. I'd love to let her, but it's just not possible. She's mad about it, but I told her if she could find a new job, or find us enough new contracts to supplement the income lost, she could quit. She thinks I'm not being supportive, but we just scrape by now.

I sent my parents a message. They are selling their house and I was hoping they would consider selling it to me. I'd just need them to hold the mortgage or rent to own to us or something. The message I got back from them was a list of cleaning supplies they liked.... not a good sign... Oh well.

Well I have to do a little shopping to do. Think about happiness today. Did you know that people who lose a limb are exactly as happy as people who win the lottery. You chose weather or not to be happy. It's really all in your mind...
