My Ebenezer

You won’t believe it.

Someone came to my door the other day while I was walking with the kids. When I got to my front yard she was walking away and then turned and said, “Are you Cindy?” A little uneasy with a stranger knowing my name, I told her who I was.

Guess who SHE was?

She was “district manager” for them. I’m not even going to type out their name because I don’t want to do any kind of advertising.

She wanted to know what they could do to earn my business back. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I had to remember whose I am before I answered. I really wanted to let her have it. Instead, I told her with a very sweet smile on my face that I wouldn’t go back to her company if they offered me a million bucks. Then I laughed and said, “well, okay,…. maybe for a million…” She laughed and apologized and then went into a little schpill about a special offer blah blah blah blah. I stopped her and said, “Are you serious? I realize you are just doing your job and all but really….you can’t really think there is even a chance I’ll go back after what the story I just told you.” She laughed and said no and that she wasn’t even going to try to talk me into it. 

She was a nice lady. Seemed very nice and hard working to be out in the heat and all. I asked her if she’d like me to pass on a good word for her with the satellite company because I heard they were hiring. She laughed and walked away……………….
