Jerry’s Project Takes a Turn for the Worse—Maybe

Abstract

Jerry and I met on February 22 in my office to discuss his phone mail project, as well as his housing situation with the Morettis. Jerry and Barbara had visited Wayne and Elsie several times since our initial meeting and house tour, and Jerry and Wayne had begun talking about the price. Jerry seemed energized by his housing success, and he thanked me repeatedly for connecting him with Wayne. We talked at great length about his plans for moving in over the summer, and he made a special point of telling me that Wayne had agreed to leave his pool table and pinball machine as “housewarming” gifts. I thought he would talk forever about the house, but eventually I focused his attention on work-related matters. After four weeks of work, the phone mail system was going through some initial pilot testing.
