Brianna worked today and I was relieved. Already she's impacted (for the better) how we interact with two of our vendors.

Jesse in particular had a very hectic day. I was remembering work orders I was supposed to have put in two days ago, and when a deadline changed, my boss Jack took over my data entry. He was three times as fast as I was! I watched him for six minutes and asked questions so I could learn to input data more quickly.

Bob called and asked that we work late today so we could get off tomorrow at four PM. It seemed like a fair trade-off, with it being Memorial Day weekend and everything. So I missed my kickboxing class and stayed at work.

Jesse was asked to go on collections calls in person and by herself, which is bad, because she's about five foot tall, and wears heels all the time.

Well, our tenant, the great designer John Bouchet, who is the First man I have ever seen carrying a Louis Vuitton bag, came in and asked to see Jack. Jesse had served him a letter telling him to pay up two grand or get socked with late fees. John was civil to me but looked shocked. I announced Mr. Bouchet and told him to go ahead to Jack's office.

He started down the hall, and as he did I could hear his footsteps fall faster and harder with each step and I realized he was going to assault Jack- verbally as it turned out, but I didn't know that. I got up in a hurry and headed down the hall, embarrassed that I hadn't seen it coming. I wasn't there in time to see the initial interaction. He was yelling and Jack was telling him to back down. John had already stepped back from a more aggressive stance by the time I got there. I stood there watching the two of them until John calmed down considerably.

Just think- if he had thrown a punch I would have missed the whole thing.
