Generosity/Hospitality.

This will be a short post, but I just wanted to say this.

Yesterday, I was working, installing Satellite internet for someone who was WAY out in the middle of nowhere. The area was so forested, that it was a very slim chance they would be able to get internet at all. So, with the thought that it was possible, the other installer and I went ahead and started the installation. After getting the dish on the roof, we started peek-and-pointing, which is where you try to find the satellite with a tone that is built into the dish tria(receiver/transceiver), and that proved to be very troublesome. The satellite didn't want to cooperate. At all. so, after getting settled inside for provisioning, we were pretty stressed, getting this thing to work for them was important to us, because we were literally their only chance to get internet, which they needed. So, the stressed installers, went inside, and not 5 minutes after, the 'Missus' of the household insisted we eat an entire plate of cookies, drink two cups of hot cider and coffee, and to top it off, she sent us both home with a tin of cookies each! She was such a sweet person, and we were very grateful for her generosity, hospitality and patience while we took 'forever' to get their internet up. It's very nice to know that there are people out there that still care. And that are that nice.

Ok, not so short...but it worked out!
