When Email Brings A Happy Surprise

I am still an early riser, even though I no longer have a long commute to work.  I enjoy getting up with Jim, fixing his lunch, having breakfast with him and seeing him off.  After he leaves, I normally sit down at my laptop with my coffee to check my email and get the day started on the right foot.

Imagine my delight when I saw that I had an email from Web Designer Mark with the wireframe diagram of Zoe's home page!  He was pleased with the responses that I had given him in my website reviews and used that information along with the other information from our talks and email correspondence to create the diagram.  I'll be reviewing it today and providing him with comments.  I often get wonderful surprises like this in the mornings (as opposed to when I was in IT and was often surprised with an "Oh crap!" kind of email!)

I had a morning meeting with Buildout Manager Scott, Architect Michael, and Construction GC/Estimator Bob at Zoe's potential space.  We had a wonderful meeting and I was very impressed with my first meeting with Michael and Bob face to face.  I really got the feeling that they cared about my best interests and both were very knowledgable in their fields and in dealing with the City of Alexandria.

At the end of our meeting, we all had "Action Items" to follow up on to keep the process moving.  After lunch, I completed mine, one of which was to provide the team with the contact information for my attorney so Architect Michael and he could reconstruct some of the language in the lease to specify how the space should be delivered to me.  By 2:30, they conferenced me in on a call to discuss the changes!  I like this kind of service!
