The message comes home

Though I live in an area that is heavily hispanic, there are few Spanish-speaking notaries here. My enchantingly lovely wife is one of them. This weekend she was out of town. At 9:20 p.m. Saturday, I received a call from a signing service, which will remain unnamed. They needed a Spanish-speaking notary for a closing on Sunday. I explained that my wife is the bi-lingual part of our duo, and she was unavailable. Then -- this felt so good it was almost like a spoonful of BlueBell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream (a delicacy denied many of you Philistines from other parts of the U.S.) sliding down the throat -- I told the scheduler:

"You need to know that she wouldn't have accepted the assignment anyway. I was, coincidentally, just now in the process of compiling a list of signing services that we should never accept assignments from, and less than five minutes ago I added you to the list. You folks are all over the notary forums on the web as being deadbeats."

The scheduler wasn't indignant, she was just surprised and shocked. She asked what forums, and I told her the two I know about.

Would you believe that Monday night I got another call from the same SS, but a different scheduler? I gave her the same message. Her reply: "I understand, Hugh." And she hung up.

Missing many things from Texas, BLUE BELL ice cream is the best. I go visit once a year and that is one of the things on my things to do list...EAT BLUE BELL ICE CREAM.
Yum have the craving now...o well have to wait another 4 months for that first spoonful.
Have a wonderful day! I enjoy reading all your posts.
