That Was Awkward

sledgehammer | Posted in Business on

It’s 8:30 on a Friday night. Customer made a trip to my house unannounced to tell me I have the job. I was on my second martini.

 

I wish someone would have told me this is a 24/7 job…. I’d have become a doctor instead….

    congratulations!

    could have been worse, could have been 5:30 in the morning after your 5th or 6th martini. DOH!

    What's the job?

    I'd be embarrassed too.  Beer, whiskey, wine... fine, but a martini???

    I mean, who drinks those anymore?

      Especially with a name like "sledgehammer". Now if his name was "gavel".........http://grantlogan.net/
