My father was thinking of getting back into business after being retired for four years. He said that he was very bored with staying home and just golfing all the time. Most people would love to have that life but he just thought that he should be helping people and their pets. He was a veterinarian and he figured that if he just had a very small office, that it would be just enough to keep him busy and he could still be semi-retired.

I took the job of helping him to find some discount office furniture that would work in the very small waiting room and in the two other small offices in the building. I also set him up a standing account with an office supplies store that delivered and they were just down the road from him too.

The discount office furniture was delivered four days later and it all looked great. Shortly after the first office supplies store delivered the first big order for phones, copy machines, the paper and pencils, and everything else he needed to get started, my father saw his first patient. After he helped out the little dog, he said that he knew he had made the right choice to get back to working.
