Are You Your Client’s Solution?

Right after hurricane Ike went through, we saw a “run on the pumps” for gas here in Charlotte. Some drove for miles trying to find gas, some sat in lines for hours waiting for gas, while others literally ran out of gas waiting in line.
One lady was interviewed around 2:00 AM while sitting in her car wearing pajamas. When asked by the reporter why she was in her PJ’s, she answered she did what she needed to do. She thought if she came out early she would beat the crowd. Unfortunately many other people had thought the same thing as they sat in the lines at 2 AM…waiting.
But of all the people waiting in line, why was this particular lady the one interviewed, weren’t they all there to get gas? She was picked/interviewed because she stood out…she was different from the rest…she had on pajamas.
In our neighborhood we have a gas station about a mile from our house. My husband usually leaves before I do to go to work. I had asked him to let me know if he saw the tanker or saw that there was gas at the “corner store” and to call me if he did and I would leave early to go pump the gas.
Sure enough on Monday morning he called to say there was gas at the corner store and for me to come on while there was no line. That sounded great except for one problem…I was coloring my hair Monday morning and at the point my hair was literally foaming on the top of my head!
