    Surprise, surprise.

    A first time for me in about 40 years.

    So this morning I get called out to a house with lighting problems.
    Find the fault and repair. The owner then requests some changes needed to socket outlets in kitchen and some outside lighting.
    He indicates that I shouldn't worry about quoting. " Just do what needs to be done and invoice me" he says.

    Anyway, I finish everything, back at the office I draw up the invoice and send it off to him.

    15 minutes later I get two identical deposits from him for the invoiced amount.
    I phone him to point out his mistake of paying me twice.

    Well, I nearly fell off my chair when his reply was " No mistake, my brother. What you did today was worth at least twice your invoiced amount. Enjoy the weekend".

    Hows that ?

    I'm going to enjoy the weekend.

    Like I said, first time for me.
