Signs
I’ve been a little remiss in sharing some of the signs I’ve been receiving since I started working with the Zee Suite. I’m going to share a few of them in separate posts. Here’s the first.
I do holiday lighting—which means October, November, and the first half of December are absolute madness. Long days, packed calendars, zero margin for error.
In early November, I had a BIG install scheduled on a beautiful two-story jewelry building. It was an all-day Monday install, and my calendar was completely full.
That Saturday, I went to the storage unit to pull materials. We needed 367 bulbs for the job.
I always order Warm White.I recommend Warm White.I stock Warm White.I do not recommend Pure White.I do not stock Pure White.
So imagine my horror when I opened the box and realized I had somehow ordered Pure White.
I was apoplectic.
I had very few Warm White bulbs left. I immediately called my distributor. I started scrambling, trying to figure out if there was anywhere I could source 367 Warm White bulbs in less than 48 hours.
And then I stopped.I took a deep breath.
I remembered that I had recommended Warm White to my client… but then I had an aha moment.
I texted her:
“We’ll be there at 8:30am Monday. One question—do you want Warm White or Pure White?”
She replied:
“If we mixed them, would that work?”
I said:
“No, not really.”
She said:
“Then let’s go with Pure White.”
YES.
The universe had already solved the problem—I just needed to get out of my own way.
And here’s the kicker:The result was stunning.Pure White looked so much better on that building than Warm White ever would have.
A reminder that sometimes what we think we should do… isn’t what’s actually meant to happen.
