    From Good to Better

    Turned out to be one heck of a great day....Woke up this morning and it was pouring rain....Not great but good for me because the pond on my property was getting a bit low.

    Had to swing by the scrap yard to pick up the check for our steel dumpster and things got better. Ended up with $1300 from that.

    Then my wife called (she handles all the phone calls and emails) and she let me know that we had a pickup about a half hour south of us. So we took off. Along the way Laura was telling me that the pickup would be 150 computer towers.....Even better!

    Well when we got there things just went from good to awesome. All 150 towers were 486 machines and they were complete! So far we have torn down about 40 of them and will likely get the rest done tomorrow. A good day so I guess I should be expecting total crap for the next several days LOL

    Thanks....The two people that work for me did not even groan when they saw all those towers and they have been busting their buns to get them ready....Decided that they will get a nice bonus check this week along with their standard pay check.

    That is the way good employers should be.

    My father taught me a valuable lesson in business, and it works wonders : "Treat every customer as they are your 1 and only customer...they will continue to do business and refer others"

    "Treat every employee as if they are your 1 and only employee....they will give 100% efforts, go above and beyond, and always be eager to do what is needed"
