A New Year

Here is hoping for a new year, a better year..... something that makes you want to continue to run your own shop.... something, just a brief but significant sign that the times are turning...that once again we will be able to make money, pay down bills and feel like we can hire someone to help us. About 3 years ago I started a journal, one to keep me sane. I wrote in it everytime one of my customers did something or said something mean to me... Expected to much out of me.... Figured I was making a killing and had no qualms requesting things that I would never had dreamed of ...

I decided that I should share some of these things so that the consumer would maybe be a little mindful as to what they say and so that other shop owners can relate... sometimes that is all that has saved me is knowing that other shop owners are going through the same things.

Please don't be offended by this blog, it is written strictly as a way to vent, a way to let go of the things I cannot change.. It is written so that others can get a good laugh and enjoy a smile, sometimes at my expense, sometimes at the expense of others. Read it, enjoy it and let it go...
