John and i were talking over pints.
work, work, work, that’s
all we share.
i asked “has this crash
slowed you down any?”
“not really” he said
“‘cept the customers want a complete
break-down of every side and cent
of whatever quote i pitch. It’s like
they want the work done
for free.”
i took a huge hit
and smiled in recognition. “yeh” i said
“i wouldn’t mind the needling so much
if we weren’t pouring over the details
in the front seat
of the their new AMG Mercedes…”
