This morning, my eyes sprang open. I was irritated as could be with Cabinetman. I was bound and determined to get answers to all my questions and, if need be, knock some heads together!
ROAR!
I spent this morning, at my desk, mentally preparing for the task ahead. I was trying to keep in mind that I still want him to finish the work. One of the areas I am trying to improve upon is motivation. I’d rather motivate Cabinetman to do the job, rather than threaten him. I think I ironed out a strategy.
To clear my mind, I did some shadow boxing. I tried to do ten push-ups. On push-up number four, I cut my knuckle on a staple in the carpet. I hate office carpet. The Rocky movie came to mind. I chased a chicken around, trying to catch it. No luck.
The best time to get Cabinetman in his lair is late afternoon. That was when I was going to go. Until something unexpected happened . . .
SFX: Cell Phone Rings
Clifford: Hello?
Receptionist: Hi, this is Receptionist calling. How are you doing?
Clifford: I’m doing fine, thanks for asking.
Receptionist: Cabinetman would like to come out and do his final measurements.
SFX: Handset hits the desk. Chicken clucks.
Clifford: Today?
Receptionist: He’s in the area . . .
Clifford: Handyman is working today. The backdoor is unlocked. He can come by whenever he wants.
Receptionist: Super! I’ll call him and let him know.
Clifford: Did you just say "Super"?
There’s a stay of execution.
