ZB made a STUNNING discovery.
His cheese has trivia on it.
Yeah, I know– I’m not sure how the world turned without this feature beforehand, but now I’m getting my daily quiz on cows and dairyland and my life is complete.
Also?
I went searching for a website designer, because, well, my last website designer was an amalgam of me and Mate, and since neither of us are actually, uh, pro’s at it, I thought that maybe, just maybe, I’d want someone who knew what they were doing, to make me look good. Vain, I know, but I’m sort of hoping good things will come of it.
Anyway– I went through Thumbtack, because it seemed like a nice, impersonal way to interview people and check out their work, and since there’s a general “decline” or “I picked someone else” button, I was thinking “Great! It’s like speed dating! Except you don’t have to look anyone in the eye!” Because, you know, the worst thing about dating is the, “Uhm, I had a great time at the build a burger place, and I understand that you thought $10 would cover the whole date, and no, your roommate didn’t creep me out AT ALL, but I’d rather not see you again. Ever.”
I mean, it sucks to reject people, right?
So I thought that maybe the Thumbtack thing would make it happen without the pitiful “I’m so sorry, it’s not you, it’s me. I swear, ME!” of looking around for a web designer.
I underestimated the competitiveness of the market, because this morning I got an, “Amy, was it the budget consideration?” email, and I heard it, clear like a church bell in my head:
“Was it something I said?”
And now I’m dodging a Thumbtack e-mail because I rejected a web designer.
It’s a good thing I met Mate early, then grabbed on and held on for life.
I’m really bad at this dating thing.
