    Talking Feeling a tad braggadocious

    Okay! As many of you know, my business is repairing food service equipment. I have several customers in San Diego county and a couple in Orange county. Today I get a call from a Disneyland representative. I assume he is head of their Maintenance dept. or at least the contact man. They have a bakery on their premises that is a franchise of one of my customers but, if I understand correctly, all maintenance for this bakery has been turned over to Disneyland maintenance, you know, the guys who maintain the incredibly complicated rides and shows at Disney. Well anyways, They called little old me because they cant figure out some of the bakery equipment and need a company like mine to repair and maintain said equipment...can you believe it, these incredibly smart guys who care for all things mechanical and electrical at Disney need little old me!! This is really something!!

    If they like my work this could mean major business!!!

    Does it show how excited I am?

    That is great! More profits = more razors and good for the economy.

    Sir, congratulations on your good fortune! I think it appropriate that you run out and stimulate the economy by buying some new razors and posting them here..so we can vicariously live through you!
