Today I didn’t get as much billable time as I would have liked but I certainly got a lot done. I received callbacks about my liability insurance and Extended benefits. One was from Westland Insurance who I must say has great personnel working for them and good connections for policies. Did you know they were held for cyber ransom for 6 days not too long ago? I can’t imagine how stressful that was. The benefits are through BCAA and I did again have great service and assistance from the woman who emailed me back, suggesting a less expensive package with all I would need. I love not being upsold when unnecessary. I took part in half price deals day through the local radio station although most things were sold out by the time my day was clear enough to go on. I did pick up a couple good coupons I hope to share with Diane and Maureen down the road and half price from Beer Works in Kimberley sounds right up my alley.
My friend Julie, who I’ve known since high school confirmed today that she is driving up for a visit from the lower mainland and I am going to hire her to do some data entry while she is here. I am looking forward to the visit!
Had another small world connection today when the newest nomad renter in the coworker space and I got chatting. He and his wife , Jodi are moving from Cochrane Alberta when they find a place. In a winding conversation he brought up her going to guitar camp and their connection with Doug Cox. I consider him a dear friend, the Big Guy at VIMF and have already recruited them to come work the next festival. Hearing Gerald talk about Linda McRae and Todd Butler was so trippy.
For the second time in as many weeks I have had a male client sit in my office and during conversation say something about if they were married to me or were with me ..such and such. It is a testament to my poker face that I didn’t blush like a school girl and blurt out: Oh, behave! it is challenging being a single professional some days. Especially when a beautiful man in a cowboy hat kneels beside your chair at the desk and asks if he is too close….
Came home to find I had forgotten to turn off the water filling the pool. I just can’t have nice things….
