The joys of small business ownership

The "transcript" below is exactly how my phone call with HTH started this morning.


(Phone rings)
Me: Hey, Baby.
HTH: Hey, Babe. How's it going?
Me: I've 3 minutes til my next conference call, but everything is looking pretty good. How about you?
HTH: I just called to tell you that I dropped {new employee}E off at Grace's to do the work there and I'm heading off to McDonald's to do that compressor change out. At this moment, we are making money in 2 places at one time!
Me: Whoo-hoo!
...conversation continues....

We are SO excited about this, but I can't imagine ANYONE else caring nearly as much. I guess that is one of the joys of owning a small business - it really is OUR business and nobody else's....
And, yes, we're kinda demented, but at least we have a good time with it! ;)

Love it love it!! I laughed and read it to Baba and we both laughed. We're soooo happy for y'all!

Thanks! It does feel very weird, though. We're hiring when all of the rest of the world seems to be losing their jobs and even businesses....
