Two Nice Things

Two nice things happened over the weekend.

Nice Thing #1

I got my carpets at the house cleaned.  I paid for a service, and three young guys showed up and in 90 minutes did what would have taken me all day.  They also got it done better than I would have.

Nice Thing #2

One of the “perks” of being on programming for a volunteer SF con is that, if the con is financially sound, you get your attendance fee back.  This is usually in the form of a check all by its lonesome in a cheap envelope.  Well, I got my check back from Capricon and it also came with a thank-you letter.  A generic “greetings, volunteers” letter to be sure, but it was the first actual thank-you I can recall receiving from a con.
