Sometimes the world sucks.

One day a week I send Bad to a babysitter and I run some errands and do a little filing for Hubs' company. I also make his collections calls. I hate it. I'm pretty friendly and laid back about it (which no doubt makes me less effective) but despite that, today I made a grown man cry. The economy sucks, and a lot of Hubs' customers have been especially hard hit. This was a good guy who wants to pay his bills on time, but he can't pay his bills until he has been paid; and everyone seems to be sitting on their money. It's a vicious merry-go-round and I want to get off it.

Oooh, that's hard. I'm sorry that your day has started off so badly.

Oh that's tough. I would have to make collection calls in this economy. Well, in any economy.

I hope things turn around soon for everyone.

The worst part of any business, really sucks.
Hope the rest of your day has been a bit sunnier.

That sucks. Stuff like that will stick with you too. I think it's hard for so many people at the moment.

I think having to make collection calls in this economy would be horrible! Hang in there though. Eventually it will all get moving again.

I could not do that - I honestly couldn't.
I hope the week has gotten better for you.

And that it all turns around eventually.
