Topix Underground

I'm glad to be working again. The winter lasted way too long. I had just been hoping an old customer would call and say they wanted tile done. They live close, they love me, I love them, the drive is like being on vacation. The following day - the day after Easter - I saw that they had texted me on Easter Sunday to hand me a perfect job at the perfect time. It's so nice to work alone again. Quiet. No radios, no one chattering in Italian, no not-getting-paid-anxiety. Plus I'm good enough at layout -  and with a saw -  that I can actually cut a job at my house off a drawing I made and then drive it to the site and stick it all together with mortar - hat-tip to my obsolete training as a draftsman and my trusty MK-101.  I feel so milennial working from home. Today I did drawing, laid out giant tiles with a Sharpie and a t-square, smoked reefer and drank Coca-Cola. It's the way all work days for all God's children should always be - reefer and Coca-Cola.
