BAD BUSINESS

We were supposed to get our tub reglazed by this guy Chris who works for Socal Refinishing. So after a late night of poker, it was a bitch to get up. He was supposed to be here at 9:30AM and he never showed up. No phone call, no nothing. He did ask yesterday if there was any way he could do the reglaze on Saturday, but I said no. So maybe he just had stuff to do and decided to flake. That's what I call bad business.

But it may have been for the best since I ended up talking to other reglazers who sounded much more professional. You probably end up getting what you pay for, so I decided to go with Franklin Interiors. John Franklin runs the place and he talked me through some of the things I should look out for. So hopefully he calls back and decides to work with me on the price.

Since I didn't have anything else to do, I spent the afternoon playing poker again. I'm definitely on a losing streak since I keep getting unlucky. Well, it's actually more of other people getting lucky and me getting second best which will always make you a loser. I didn't win a single hand for a long time, and that's when you know you're in trouble. As soon as I went broke on one of the tables, I quit without wanting to re-buy.

Then I ran two miles. It was hot outside and I think that's what made the run tougher than it really was. My back still feels a little funky, but at least I felt like I hadn't lost all my running endurance.
