We just had to explain to a customer that just because her house sold two weeks sooner than expected, and her moving truck is on the way, we cannot do a week and a half's worth of restoration/refinishing/upholstery on her antique chair in less than two days.

1) THE BOSS IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

It just occurred to me that "Rumplestiltskin" could be considered to describe something rude.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

So did John Holmes.

This is my new bed, that I picked up last Monday at IKEA. It sat inside my car until Saturday morning what with all the breaking down and being exhausted last week. I finally got it put together and slept in it last night for the first time.
I can't wait to get home from work today so I can crawl right back in!
