And.... we got it. Whew.

And the biggest one just showed up. Oh yeah!

It's coming down to the wire - I need another $873 in fees to hit quota this month. I'm worried once it hits 6 o'clock and Halloween is in full swing, I might not get another payment (we close @ 8). I have some really big payments due today, but they don't seem to want to pay.

This morning, right at open, well, before I opened, actually, I had a woman in here screaming at me. Why? I'm not so sure. She said she was the wife of a customer, and wanted a printout of his account history and such. I told her no.

Saturday brought a day off, and hours of solo geeky gaming, followed by a movie (The Treansporter - highly recommended), and falling asleep on Jenny's couch. Today was sleeping in, failing to connect my PS2 network adapter to the internet (it would seem as ( Read more... )

Saturday night I spent at Trent's participating in Game-o-rama '02. Two PS2s - linked, two TVs, two copies of Time Splitters 2, six geeky guys. We played until about 3:30. The best part about video gaming isn't the gaming, it's the trash talk. Lot's of fun ( Read more... )
