Revenge is a Bad Yelp Review

This week is the most important week of my professional life. We had a major Client come to the office for a visit today, we proposed a huge (and very creative) settlement. Without explaining too many details, we are structuring the agreement in such a way that the Client will not have to disclose a huge loss to their balance sheet (GAAP rules state that you must declare a reduction in your Net Worth when you have a 'realized' loss). If the Client had to realize that loss as they normally should then they would be out of business tomorrow.

On top of that, I have a big interview with a local (up and coming) Mortgage Company. They want to discuss 'Career Opportunities' with me; I take this as a very good sign, I've never had a company ask me to interview for available opportunities. This could be a game changer.

The Loft is coming along, I completely failed to find new hanging pendants for my track lighting. I went to a place in Thousand Oaks called Thousand Oaks Fans and Lighting. Well, in order to not type this out twice here is my Yelp review:
----
I came in with a pendant from a track lighting that I have in my condo. All I wanted was to check with a professional if they had anything that could fit my track. The woman behind the counter, Kim was her name, was extraordinarily unhelpful and dismissive (I was practically begging for a sales pitch, I mentioned how much I hated my track lighting, and still, Kim dismissed my concerns) . I left the pendant at the store the weekend so their professional can check the wiring.

It turns out they don't carry the type of track I have (which is fine) however when I picked the pendant back up this afternoon I found that it was missing a little glass container over the light. I asked Kim to check for it, she basically told me to my face that I must be mistaken, because they didn't lose anything. I hate being lied to to my face, that is the reason for this shit review.

Revenge is bad Yelp review.

In other news, the book case is nearing completion. Take a gander:





We just need to stain the wood and bolt it into place. It should be ready to go in 3 weeks or so.
