yo no soy bobo...

I had a interesting day starting at 5am and back to back meetings. I'm getting 2 of my clients complaints about some new system of electronically signing documents. My statement to management is START WITH THE NEW ORDERS and not penalize the orders already in house as it's bumping them to the back of the priority list.

For a few weeks, I worked with a general contractor doing a total house renovation and though I stressed for him to approve the details of my sales drawings, they go to engineering/design to make the actual shop drawings the factory builds from. He was obsessing for every little detail that cost a few weeks 'dotting all the i's and crossing all the T's.' The job is an hour drive from me, but I pushed every facet of the sale. I made a special trip to pick up the deposit check I made a special trip to drop off samples for the homeowner to approve. I had a sample door made for them and drove it down the same day it was painted (wrapped in a towel and put in a box, I was on the highway with the windows open a few times to keep the paint fumes from knocking me out) for special approval. At least 3 back and forth messages to tweak drawings.
I got annoyed as the office cannot put his order into production because he questioned the temperature of the lighting. We used to do 3,000K and switched to a brighter 4,000K. He want's 3,000K to match the lighting in the house.
"Put the order into production, there's no reason ho hold it for a change in light color"
I got a message to review the new drawings with a color of lighting change this afternoon. Nap time came around 5:30 so I'll check the drawing later tonight.
It would appear the 6 to 8 weeks delivery will now be about 14 weeks.

Order processing delays will be my topic of discussion in the sales meeting tomorrow morning!

Background for the reason of my blog title and for those of you who don't speak Spanish. I learned the phrase about 45 years ago as a draftsman where all my coworkers were Hispanic. I was the only Gringo in the drafting department and picked up a few phrases along the way. Yo no soy bobo means, I'm not stupid.

Before logging in tonight, I scanned the new members list to see a woman who could easily qualify for the most beautiful new CS member. I won't give out her name and location, but her photo referenced to an Instagram profile of a woman originally from Venezuela that linked to a TikTok page where she uses her real name with the prefix Yo Soy (first name, last name)
Yo soy translates to "I am"

Wow... is it possible a REAL person is a new member on CS?
