It’s almost February!
I’m getting burned out from long programming stints so I thought I could update the ‘ol blog.
We had a sales guy from a home security company ring our doorbell tonight. It was 7:30pm and dark outside, so it was a little odd. But he rang the doorbell despite our polite “No Soliciting” sign right above the doorbell. He opened with something about “not selling anything, it’s a promotion”, to which I replied “we don’t really appreciate soliciting” (while pointing to the sign). I think I’ll need to put a definition of “soliciting” next to the sign now, because his response was “Oh, no, I’m not selling anything, it’s a promotion”.
Anyway, he wanted to see if I’d let him put one of his signs in my yard to advertise their service. Really. I don’t use their service or have an interest in it, but he wanted me to advertise for him? Very weird. So I declined and said have a good night.
That’s really been the highlight of today, lol. I’ve been programming the rest of it. It’s getting down to crunch time and I’m in that mode. But like I said, I’m getting burned out. Blake (new business partner) is ironically at Disney World in Florida with his wife and twin boys, lol. =) Which was planned for months.
That’s all I can think of at the moment.
Ha! You should have said, “Well, considering that we’re not on a cul-de-sac and get about 50 cars a day going by our street, I feel that me letting you advertise your business in my yard would cost you $500 a month. Would you like to see our contract?”
