Yesterday, Sunday, we had the lowest daily income in the history of Tioli's. We didn't make enough to pay the daily utility bill, which isn't all that much for a warehouse our size.
I came in to work today, instead of taking a day off. I'm curious about what will happen. I remember feeling the same way when Ma died. I was curious, what would this be like? Is it the end of the world?
And yet, we just might make it, because we don't know what else to do other than show up every day.

I was heartsick yesterday because one of the customers that loves, loves, looooovvvvvves our store came in for a visit to show me three BAGS of yarn she had bought on line (beautiful stuff) and to return three balls she had bought from us.
I was nice. I don't know why except that it's beyond mentioning that if she wants a yarn shop in her home town, she needs to buy yarn there rather than on line.
To Mrs. Tioli, man that would be hard! Maybe it's good that she's being honest with you. Or maybe it's sad that she doesn't have a clue how her actions would make you feel. Eventually I'm sure you'll want to let her know a little of your feelings, but how do you do that without losing customers and creating ill will in the neighborhood?
exactly.
