On the Second Day of Christmas...

Plugging in...

On the second day of Christmas, my clients gave to me, TWO signifcant bonuses and a thank you to make the Tutor blush.

I was working with two clients on the same day during this month of merriment and to my astonishment, BOTH of them paid me more than what I wrote the invoices for.

The first client, not only fed me lunch and sent me home with gourmet foods for dinner, THEN she told me she was giving me more than the bill! AND THEN... she sent me an email telling me she believe she owed me more money because I must have done the math wrong - she told me to check it out in Excel, using the AutoSum formula! (We'd been working on Excel that day).

The second client flat out told me she was giving me a bonus, because, after all, it was the end of the year! We'd been working on the tedious process of online college applications, and she was thrilled that her son's future was now in the hands of the college admissions offices.

I've worked for many large corporations in the past, many of which gave out holiday bonuses, but none of those compares to the two I received this month. These were not obligatory thank yous, but heartfelt, up close and personal thank yous.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, is it turned on?
