BE CAREFUL!

What I learned yesterday was....

When a total stranger offers to show you their pictures while you're standing in the photo line at Walmart, say NO. You just might end up seeing more of that person than you care to! WOW! This is what happened to me yesterday. I was standing there waiting for the girl to hand me my film and there was this man in his 60's standing at that machine that makes copies any size you want. He glanced at me. Then he looked again and spoke to me. He said he was trying to decide which picture to "blow up" larger. He wanted me to help him decide. He must have sensed the "professional" in me...hahahaha! Anyway, I saw a bit too much of this man's life because THERE IT WAS LAYED OUT FOR ME AS BIG AS YOU PLEASE!! He, for some reason, insisted on showing me the entire stack of pictures he had there, claiming that he needed me to help him decide on another picture. Well, that other picture never did show up. After he was finished showing me all of his pictures and expounding upon each one, he looked at me and laughed saying "Well, now, you just got to see the whole bunch for giving me just a little information!" I smiled and said "Yeh. I did." Then I left quickly before he had the chance to realize he had another stack sitting there he'd forgotten to show me! Whew! That was close!

My advice to you all is: Always be willing to help people when they need it....but make sure you know what you're getting yourself into and be ready for anything.....hahahaha!

Yup, I've gotten myself into some pretty big jobs by offering to fix peoples computers sight unseen...sometimes things that I think will be quick and simple turn out to be slow and difficult.
