How was your Sleuth day?

Have you just had your best day of Sleuthing ever? Solved your first AI case? Got your last contact? Picked up your first treasure? Found a spoon? Finally got into the Prince's Palace?*
This is the place to share the joy, have a 'woot' or two and be congratulated by your fellow Sleuths.
Or maybe you've just had to pay Shady enough cash to finance a small war. Or reached screaming point with the tailor in Delhi. Or been pirated twice in a row. Or fallen into a trap three times running. You can share the woe, too, and we'll commiserate. We've probably been there too.
Me? I'm just happy that after two days' worth of 'south of the race track' I've finally got out of Shanghai :)
(* If you don't get the references, never mind. You could ask someone. Or you could just wait and see what the world of Sleuth brings you further down the line...)

My first day today! All is going well. I will now make sure to never miss more than 1 birthday for all my acquaintances, since 2 birthdays missed in a row is enough to have legal problems! ;)

Second day. Easier cases started to give nothing but money, so I tried my hands at hard and very hard cases.
Witnesses clamp up much quicker and my natural charms do not work as effectively. Should I start to flirt more? Should I instead find better arguments? Maybe that popular book "How to make friends" will be helpful…
I got greedy. I really wanted the money and those sweet detective points… anyway I did my first false accusation today. Did not feel proud. Bourbon will help to numb my feelings.

Third day in paradise. I suppose that book about friends is useful after all. I can get shop employees to open to me easily. But suspects are still clamming up so quickly. When a jail sentence is on the horizon, people tend to shut up even if they know they did nothing wrong.
Summer heat is near. Air conditioning bills will be high this year. I better get on the road and make some more money.

Another day, another bucket full of suddenly mute people. I try to be more persuasive but i need practice and I just can get enough cases. Maybe it is my breath or something in my manners.
Bills still piling up. As usual.

Last few days were getting easier and easier. I might try yo fet on harder cases. But why oh why forgetting two birthdays in a row is a valid reason for murder? This city is crazy sometimes. But it pays the bills.

Bills getting paid in time. A good feeling. But I know i should save money for darker days.
Have to wait for many witnesses while they are outside their home. Maybe I should go see that Johnny at bar to inquire about his pick locking kits and lessons.

I’ve been in Delhi for many days now. Many treasure hunts in the Indian city. I want to show my agency that I am a team player. But it is not easy, I have to find new informants and build a good reputation.
On the bright side, the heating bills are really low.

Days in Delhi start to weigh on me. I miss the sandwiches from my favorite New York deli. Heh. Deli, Delhi.
One thing for sure, murderers act on forgotten birthdays even in India! I dont’t get it… Anyway, someone should invent a tool that reminds people of their friends’ birthday, that would reduce the number of dead bodies worldwide. Maybe a kind of book…

The cases that make me throw my hands in frustration are ones with multiple physical evidences from the same appraiser, sucks if you do not have them as a contact
