My day started with eldest daughter's email... she finally got around to checking out NaNoWriMo, registered on the website, and plans to use it as motivation to write (and publish) her first ever novel.
And i gave good old Gaia a thumbs up too wich is always a bonus. (Or is it spelled Gaya?)
That's a great storyI spread a little love this afternoon.
Three years ago, a Honda dealer north of here moved heaven and earth to get me in a car. With third party financing. At an ungodly high interest rate [because it's all they could find].
And then two years after that, they moved heaven and earth again to put me in a better car, with nothing down, no increase in payments, and HONDA financing [at a kick ass rate].
A year of steady payments, the judicious opening of a credit account or two... and my credit rating healed/improved enough to get approved for a small home loan this week.
So even though it was a 45 minute drive north, I took them homemade [still warm] chocolate chip cookies this afternoon; asked to see the manager (who remembered me), told him the story, and handed over a few dozen cookies.
Made both of our days.
OY!ME!
I accidently raised the parental controls on myself (instead of a wifi leech next door!) and couldn't figure out how to undo them!
No Lit for me yesterday!
And that's why the employers you're currently interviewing with will get an absolute jewel when they put you to work: You remember people. You remember their likes, dislikes, and how best to approach them. You remember acts of kindness. You make people feel like ... no, you make people KNOW that they matter.I spread a little love this afternoon.
