Yes that's right...a sign. Of course you do, you might say, after all you've got signs on all your lots and we even see your billboards from time to time. Ah,but those aren't the signs I'm talking about. No, I'm talking about the neon sign that I apparently have stuck to my forehead that says 'hey, I want to talk to you'. Yes that sign. I don't ever remember putting it on in the mornings before I leave home, and I don't recall plugging it in so anyone driving by on the street won't miss it, and I don't remember advertising it on national television...but I must have done all the above. Why you ask? It's simple...that's the only explanation I can think of to explain all the interruptions I get during the day. Sorry, I should clarify what kind of days I'm talking about. It's usually on the days when I really need/want to get something done. And it's usually when I'm on a roof, in an attic, lifting a beam into place, standing a wall (yes I've been framing a bit lately) or trying to do a walk through with an excited customer before they move into their new Liberty home. I know what you're all thinking...just don't answer your phone then. That would be a great idea. Wish I would have thought of that! I also wish it were that easy. You see, I don't just have people call me on the phone. I have them walk right up to me because at that moment the sign must have changed to 'please interrupt my lunch right now and tell me all the reasons why I should be buying my insurance from you'! That's one of my personal favourites! Another is when I'm preoccupied with doing something I thought was sort of important on a job site, only to turn around and find myself face to face with someone (that I've never met before) who really doesn't have any weighty matters of national importance to discuss, but rather they just noticed me over there, and thought they should come by and perhaps with my help, solve a few of the smaller issues that mankind deals with. I'm a fairly social kind of a guy...you have to be if you're going to work with people...but there are times when I wish the neon bulbs weren't working so well.
I could go on and on and on...but I won't. Suffice to say. I must have a sign...
Tune in next time when you'll hear me say, 'Sorry I'm in the shower and I can't talk right now'!
