Thanks everyone!

 

I still haven't heard back yet. Doesn't help that his office is in Alberta which is 2 hours behind us here in Ontario.

 

I am certain I will hear something today.

 

Just don't like the fact that this trip to Calgary will feel rushed since I will find out today and then have to fly out on Monday.

 

Oh, did I mention I hate flying? lol

Make sure you get the time zones right.

 

A "consultant" came into our offices year ago, all talk and no book of business or brains.

 

After a year of nothing a potential client was located. A telephone meeting was set up for 10am Toronto-time. The client said "make sure you get the time zone right" and she went "yeah yeah yeah whatever.."

 

Well, the client was in the Maritimes and therefore AHEAD of Toronto, so she called way too late and her services were no longer required on the matter.

 

She soon thankfully disappeared.

I have found that after you get where you're going, it helps if you take your shoes and socks off, walk around on the carpet barefoot, and make fists with your toes.

 

I know. I know. It sounds crazy. But I've been doing it for nine years. Yes, sir. Better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee.
