captainsblogPretty damn close to a 12-hour day today. Out the door just before 9:30 a.m. (after getting word late yesterday that my 9:30 court appearance had been postponed), back in moments after 9 p.m. (ending with a workout and a church meeting).
Except for those last two, at just about everything I had scheduled today, I got postponed, stood up, miscommunicated with or disappointed. At least that was true for everyone coming to see me. The people I went to see- at two dentists' offices and two banks- went much better. I ended the day far more solvent than I began it, and that's not without taking any of the refi proceeds into account.
One of those two dentists was my own. While getting scaled by the RDH, I got to thinking about whether dentists actually have the better business model. I don't use the service, but many dentists in this area advertise that they specialize in various forms of "sedation dentistry," where they put you under for even routine procedures.
And so, I described my idea to my own dentist:
Introducing "sedation lawyering," for those clients who are just afraid of going to their attorney's office. Just swallow one little pill, and we can correct years of legal neglect while you peacefully snooze. We'll draft your will, transfer all your real estate (to ourselves, of course, for your own title protection), and give you post-hypnotic suggestions about not getting into bad business deals. When you're almost awake, we'll gently walk you out to your car, and then, when you get in a car accident, you'll know to call us for the resulting personal injury case.
I got out five minutes later after he excused himself to laugh his fool head off.
