It’s like the canary in the mine shaft

Sometimes I’m the canary, and sometimes I’m the shaft.

One of my largest customers with more than 100 stores filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, leaving me with a sizable unpaid balance.

I’ll be fine, and so will my company. But the array of things, good & bad, that happen on a daily basis never ceasees to amaze me.

Some days everything is “SO SMOOTH”. Almost effortless.

And some days, not so much.  This was one of those “not so much days.”

I feed that damn canary every single day, play with it, sing to it, and clean up after it.

And what happens, it goes and dies, keels over to be found lifeless on the bottom of the cage.

I’m pretty sick of this metaphor now, so suffice it to say:

“NO MORE PETS”
