TIL a guy in line at the DMV told me he got his last 3 jobs from the same retired plumber
I was stuck at the Indianapolis DMV for 90 minutes last Tuesday and the guy next to me started chatting about how he's been a pipe fitter for 22 years. He explained that one old plumber he worked with years ago keeps calling him whenever his shop gets too busy, and that one contact has fed him steady work ever since. Made me wonder how many people are sitting on one good relationship like that without even thinking about it, so how do you keep those contacts warm without feeling pushy?

Honestly maybe the lesson is the opposite, that guy didn't "keep it warm" at all, he just did good work for 22 years and the plumber remembered him. Feels like all this keeping in touch stuff is overthinking it when just being reliable does the job.
