I feel like I've been running a hundred miles an hour this week, but I'm not sure where I've been. Today has been very nice to actually relax a little. I have had a couple meetings today, talked with my dad a while this morning which is always nice, and had a long lunch with a friend. Each of these conversations has enriched me though. I have stretched my mind as I try to help out with issues they're wrestling through it's a lot of fun.
This afternoon I has a weird experience. I had a tax question so I called a tax preparer who taught a course that I took. Not weird yet... I called the number on his business card and he answered. It was a direct line. I was taken aback because I didn't actually expect to get him first. It was nice though to call someone and actually have them answer. Not press one for this, or talk to a secretary. A direct line. That's pretty cool. I know business men of an older generation who refused to have answering machines/service. If a customer called they wanted to talk to them, and if they were unavailable, they were unavailable. Sorry I'm rambling...
