yes, god does exist.

i have been praying (i do several times a day for the record) but specifically for a sewer to come and help. i have the work for an extremely sucessful business, but only so many hours in a day to produce myself. i now have 5 people working for me (not counting mike or the new hire today). 3 are full time, and 2 part time. so, i have been praying for the right person to come along to help grow the business into "the most sucessful and reliable upholstery business in the U.S." i know that is alot to want, but i figure aim for the sky and disappointment is nearly impossible. so, today mark from paradise upholstery (diagonally across the street from me) called and said he was sending his guy up to get a job as he did not have enough work to keep them both busy. i am booking into may and that is over booking as i cannot keep up with the demand myself. so, this guy has worked for mark for 2 years (which i trust, he specializes in automotive and does beautiful work) and had his own business in santa barbara for years. he is 73 and done upholstery work for 53 years. so, i showed him what i have and he didn't blink except for the amount of work i have. so, i hired him, wonderful man, and as soon as he gets his ins and outs setteled he will be in to work! yeah! i hope to have him by monday. i called mark back and thanked him for the referral and assured him that i have no intension of competing with him, so i will refer any automobile work i get (which is much) to him unless they would rather wait a few months to be on the schedule. my shirts should be in friday and i hope to get window stickers (yes, they are huge here in town) in the next few weeks. let me know if you want some, yes, i am getting kid ones too. pink for girls and not sure what terry got for the short boys. big ones are grey, black and blue.
