It's all how you see it

Hello!

Happy hump day people…

For those who have follow my blog throughout its lifetime will surely remember the story I once told about me screwing up a condolence message to a Masonic brother…  The gentleman had lost his mother and my brothers and I called to pay our respects.  My older brother was all diplomatic about it, my youngest brother also conveyed his sense of sympathy towards the whole event and I, I basically told him that “I hope you bring back good news from Israel”…!!!...  Not one of my finest moments people, and when he came back and we got in touch he let me knew the idiocy of my mistake…  I swear sometimes I can be such a dork…  But I’m bring this up to show everyone that we are humans and that things like this happens to the best of us…

Yesterday night, my wife got a call from one of her customers.  She wanted to cancel today’s work because her daughter in law had lost her mother.  The below is an excerpt of the conversation my wife and the customer had:

-          (CUST) I have to cancel because the mother of my daughter in law passed away

-          (WIFE) it’s OK no problem

-          …???... 

Apparently the customer had fallen completely silent because she taught my wife had somehow made fun of the event.  My wife realized her mistake and told the customer that she meant that it was OK to cancel but that she did feel sorry that she had lost someone she knew.  Obviously, some people are luckier than others.  At least my wife got a second chance to clarify the situation…  I never got that chance; it was a silly answering machine…  But it all goes to show you that birds of feathers stick together…

Take care folks!
