7/26/11 Hold Please

Today while working at Purple I was on a call with a person who was on hold with the place they were calling. They were waiting for a person to answer. It was over two hours before they decided to try again tomorrow, it was possible that the place was closed. At after 9 o'clock at night, I think that was a good guess. During the hold time we had such a lovely conversation. We didn't talk the whole time. I did do some reading of my book. Two hours is a long time to stare at any stranger and have a talk. But we talked about traveling different places and about all the things we had planted in our gardens. I am very excited about mine this year so we had a lot to talk about. It was a good way to spend the hold time.

I am thankful for my good chatty conversation about tasty vegetables from our gardens.

7/25/11 Under the Table

I had a small leak in the pipes under the house. Steve and Renee have been helping me with tons of stuff around the house and I wouldn't have found this leak if it weren't for Steve. However, he said it was kind of a pain to fix as a layman but super easy for an actual plumber since they can cut pipe. So I called someone who was recommended to me and he said it sounded super easy that he would actually just send over one of his apprentices and we could handle it instead of going through the plumbing company in order to save me some money. I always like the sound of that. So today he came over and fixed my drip in almost no time at all. Except he had to leave and go get the right part since I have a weird fitting or something. So it took him a little longer than I'm sure he was hoping but it was also pretty fast overall and he made a cool 45 bucks. I should have had him fix the bathroom sink while he was here. Darn. I'll still need to check in with Steve about that I guess.

I am thankful my plumbing has been fixed!
