I just had an American customer throw a temper tantrum because none of the light fixtures have an American plug. And that we don't stock 110 volt decorative light bulbs. She got personal and told me my cleavage was showing indecently (?!). I almost had to physically kick her out.

Luckily the weather's great and most customers are happy.

I just laughed. Most likely she's insecure about hers, but I'm very comfortable with mine (though they do get in the way sometimes).

My boobs are the type that show cleavage unless I wear a turtleneck shirt. I detest turtlenecks, and I don't care to show some cleavage. There isn't much to see anyways, since I like comfy bras that have good cover. So even when I bend forwards when wearing a loose shirt there isn't much to see. Though there are enough people who get offended when they are reminded of the existence of bras. But that's their problem not mine, IMHO whatever size you got, if you want to flaunt them go right ahead.

Thanks. I wish it could be even a short distance away. Lisa likes the idea of going to Door county, but we currently don't have a way to get even out of town. Still it's the reason not the destination that's important.

That's what we're trying to do for over five years now. Last year we gave in to his demand of €20000 because after five years we were fed up with the whole thing. We did demand that deducted from it was the money he stole from my grandmother (sex dating sites, various insurances, etc) and he would have gotten €7000. He did initially agreed to that but backed out of it on the deadline date.

We could have asked the judge to uphold this agreement but decided against it and instead we added the claim of over €70000 for him to pay us, those are all the costs of five years of court procedures, mediation and other legal costs.
So instead of him getting any $ he will owe you. Sounds like he will deserve it if things go that way. Of course he sounds the sort to drag it out with appeals etc. to delay having to pay even after he is found to owe something. My sympathies for your troubles Rumpelteazer.

Thank you. If the judges approves our claim (and it's a big if) we know that there is little chance we get that money. Unless my uncle wins the lottery, since he hasn't got much money. But it's nice to have that hanging over his head. Yes, that sounds mean, but after almost six years of having a chance to lose your home and business (an over 100 year old family business) it feels like justice that he has something similar hanging over his head.

Not so much a cause - it's my full-time job. I only do legal representation for victims of domestic violence.

Wondering how I could have bought 46 ebooks this month. And then I look back and I find out how. (20 magazines back issues and 15 programming books do tend to bump up the numbers).

Updating both my Kindle and Calibre. After which it's time to make breakfast. On Monday the store's closed. Often that means I have to run errands. But not today. So I'm going to relax and finish my current book.

Looking forward to a slightly easier work week. The past couple of weeks were busy with big shipments coming in. I dealt with the last one on Saturday. Normally we get a shipment in on Monday or Tuesday, but the supplier (it's a father and son business) is on vacation, we didn't need much so we decided to skip.

It's a school vacation week and today and tomorrow will have great weather, so I don't expect it to be busy, maybe later in the week when the weather turns somewhat.

I'll have time to do some chores I hadn't had time to do for a while. Also put together an order for one of our suppliers, one that has a bit of a tedious website.

Waiting for my laundry to finish in the dryer. Then I can pack my clothes for my trip to Amsterdam. Tomorrow morning I only need to pack the last couple of toiletries and my chargers.

Despite the weather prediction (wet and windy, possibly stormy) I'm looking forward to it. And with this weather prediction I'm glad I splurged on a more fancy hotel than I normally would.
