Overheard a client telling their friend I was "just a carpenter" today

I was packing up after installing a custom library wall in their living room, solid cherry with adjustable shelving and crown molding. They didn't realize I was still in the hallway and said to their neighbor "oh the carpenter did a fine job, but my designer picked everything." Took me two weeks to build that thing and another three days of on-site fitting. Anyone else ever get reduced to a job title like that after doing custom cabinet work?

Did you leave a business card with "custom cabinetmaker" on it?

A buddy of mine swore he saw a card just like that stuck in his mailbox. Turned out some guy was casing houses to see who was home, and the card was just an excuse. His security camera caught the whole thing, so keep an eye out if you find one too.

Wait, was your buddy creeped out?
