What a week

Client urged me to deliver his order ASAP. Then he has not paid the balance nor booked the shipping, after I had the boys work overtime and Saturday.

Business manager gone, as detailed previously.

Going to the last day of the trade show now. My social media girl did a national TV appearance Thursday to promote the biz also.

I started work at 3 a.m. and didn’t finish until 11 p.m. Thursday night, then back at it at 6 a.m. Friday.

Wife has downtime between her social engagements. I suspect she is running out of cash, as she has these sudden “emergency” demands for money. She announces her bill, then pursues me with the vigor of Tony Soprano collecting a gambling debt.

Business is back on the upswing. The lead times for my thing are months. Which means that if you slack in July, the downturn is not visible in the bank balance until September.

GrokBot has plugged holes, but I really have to micromanage the social media girl lately, which is not the extra work I need right now.

All in all, surviving anyway. i need a good night sleep, and
