Grateful for Surprise Candy Treasure!

I had a PC job come up and I drove just shy of an hour out to my client's office. He redesigned his office and needed all of his printers reconfigured and connected - six printers in all! With two laptops, that was 12 items of business, attempted to be completed in just an hour or so.

But nothing goes as planned. I got there considerably later than expected and the work went considerably later than expected. But the client was pleased and I did get everything functional.

But the biggest surprise is when his wife handed me a heavy bag of (premium) candy. My client purchased this in October for children knocking on his door, but he was out of town and hardly anyone showed up at the door. Rather than hold on to all the candy, they asked if my children would enjoy them.

Yes, they would enjoy them! Thankfully, the candy isn't my service payment (I like candy, but it doesn't pay the bills), but it was a delight to come home with this giant treasure trove of candy!

It's going to take months and months to go through all of this. We're thinking of using these as prize incentives for school-work.

What an unexpected surprise!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

You're right, they DON'T pay the bills, but you'll put them to good use by encouraging your children to do their homework, by the way, as you say, are from excellent brands.

I was shocked seeing all the premium (and large) candy bars. It would be expensive buying all these from a store. !BBH

Snickers, these cost some money. What a kind and thoughtful gesture from your client's wife.

0.00010304 BEE

Yes, snickers are not inexpensive. I can't imagine any scenario where I purchased this much premium candy. !BBH

On what operating system were you setting up the printers? Given some of the challenges configuring printers on various computers and OSes, I give you props for doing it 12 times in such a short time. Hehehe...I haven't had candy like that in ages, but I did used to love it when I was a kid. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

The challenge was that the printers are old, from the early 2010's. They were/are expensive and the client (understandably) does not want to replace them. Trying to get them to function with windows 11 isn't optimal. The client expected me to finish in an hour, but it took over three hours! Not because I was slacking, it was a big task.

The candy was a nice treat! have to be careful not to eat to much too quickly! I'm keeping it hidden away for special occasions.

!BBH

0.00006910 BEE

Oh, OK. Yeah, older printers like that and Windows 11 doesn't sound like much fun. I gave up on Windows years ago, and I don't think that I've even used Windows 11. Your experience with the printers reminds me about how often I offer to help someone do something technical, which should be easy, but ends up taking far longer, and with more effort, than expected.

I like that way of doing it, saving it for special occasions. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

That was a nice bonus for the job running later than expected. Computer jobs never go as they're supposed to me in experience! I hope they enjoyed the candy!

0.00009045 BEE

I'm glad this job went mostly smoothly, even if it took longer than expected. My client doesn't give a clear picture of what challenge I will have, until I'm there staring at it. !BBH
