| One
of
my
favorite
sayings is, "If it weren't for the last minute nothing
would ever get done." I've done that dance enough times to have learned
its frantic steps by heart. Often it's due to my own tendency towards
procrastination, but this time it was more because of a very short
deadline. Regardless of the reason, I needed a vinyl print made
impossibly fast and was grateful to have been recommended to Waldo Vega
of Ballard
Outdoor. He came back to his shop after hours yesterday to
print the job, but unfortunately my upload to his server failed. So
then he drove by and picked up a disc and promised to do it first thing
this morning. He called at 8 am to say it was ready so I got a
Zipcar and zipped over. He then proceeded to "help" me mount it by
doing it all himself as I watched and learned the unforgiving process.
(He even offered to take this picture, bedhead and all.) Then I drove
it over to Capitol
Hill and delivered it with about a minute to spare. I know this
isn't a
very interesting story but I want to express my gratitude to Waldo for
making the seemingly impossible happen with grace, efficiency, and at a
price that was more than fair. I can't recommend him strongly enough.
