Day One Hundred and Seventy-Three
Tale of Genji Page: 740
I promise it’s not Genji’s fault that I didn’t get much reading done today. There is nothing like going without to make you realize how much you appreciate something. I think I’ve always been properly grateful to my mother-in-law for watching Alex and Luc on Saturdays. This week both she and Doug had things going on so they couldn’t. Holy crap! I missed my day “off”. The peace and quiet! The time to read! The chance to take a nap! Of course, I usually work between 12 and 17 hours on Saturday but to be able to work without them underfoot is so incredibly nice that it almost feels like a break. Anyway, thanks to them for all the help these last 7 months. And on our list of wonderfully helpful people we also have Oolie and La-La, who kindly brought me a drink last night along with chocolate and witty conversation and also helped out our Quinn today. Feel the love.
Jared and I spent some time brainstorming ideas for marketing Veritas and for improving our brand and service today. Speaking of service…I’m turning in to such a grumpy old lady…but seriously who expects to get a $1 cup of coffee with free refills and SHARE it? I pissed somebody off by not letting them do that, and maybe they weren’t planning on getting refills but still! Anyway, back to the idea thing. One of the things we want to do this summer (actually wanted to do sooner but time flies, ya-know?) is install a bike-rack in front of the building. So we’re thinking about making it a party and offering free iced-drinks on Friday evenings to anyone who rides their bike to Veritas (donations toward the bike-rack will be somewhat graciously accepted). What do you think?
