Day 11,406
I have called in the customized pilot hat the man asked for. I also sent him an email notifying I have done so. He replied thirteen minutes after thanking me for the trouble of doing so. He also said that I'm the only hat shop person that he could trust. Such honor is not deserved of myself, I assured him. He was adamant that I'm the best hat shop owner - as I told him I'm the owner of the establishment, not just a worker – that is local. I was very touched but didn't take his words to heart. Who would? We don't know each other. He could be misjudging me with ideas that are very untrue to how I really am. It could only be my fault as I act differently around customers than anyone else.
Finding a company that would customize hats was not that easy. It took me a full day to track down at least one reliable company with good ratings. I know I shouldn't trust so easily but I do not wish to upset a regular customer with any kinds of delay. He asked for it, even gave me cash for the payment stating that he wouldn't take any change since he knew it cost a lot of time to do customizations. He always pays in cash, but I'm not sure how he gets Benjamins when he's merely an engineer. Does that job really pay well?
This customization request has actually got me thinking about gaining the skill and equipment to do this in my shop. I know of the sport hat shops doing so, customers being able to watch them program a machine with the specific request, then paying right then and there. All they need are blank hats. This job is a special embroidery, though. I'm not sure equipment could do everything. Maybe I should brush up on my sewing, knitting, and crocheting. Or I could even go back to school for fashion design. No, that wouldn't work. I wouldn't want to be in the same world as that bloody frog. Also, I'm getting too old. I probably wouldn't do well going back to college.
Other than that, not much else is going on. Haven't heard from my brothers yet but my sister sent me a note about what's going on. Seems our father is back home from wherever he last traveled to be beside mum. He fears she won't make it through her sickness. I think everyone is raving over a simple thing. Mum would think the same. They're all so overly dramatic at times. No matter. I know she'll pull through. She's a strong woman. Always has been always will be. There's a lot of life left in her for her to live. She won't let a measly cold bring her down. At least I hope so.
