I had a very good movement, then the next two Megan OKeefe books were in the store
Showering, then massage before I head to my soccer game

Relatively independent wealth is nice!

I was reading through customer reviews at the dealership I work for and saw this.

Put a smile on my face. I love helping people out. Good thing the owners are noticing.

Trying to make my way up to a manger position.

I pick up the Lexus from the shop today. For three weeks I've been driving an Altima for a rental. I can not possibly begin to express how much I have missed my car. Also, birthday week, three day work week and I'm putting remote start in the Lexus this weekend.

Not good at the moment. I haven't seen my car yet, but problems aplenty this morning. Just heard from the shop. They killed my one month old Optima battery by leaving the trunk open, then they closed the trunk. I left them with my key fob, minus the actual key. They key is in my pocket 40 miles away. They can't finish my car that was supposed to be finished already until I leave work and take them the key; which is impossible due to my schedule at work today. Hell fire will scorch earth upon my arrival.

At least the girlfriends car is finished.

Between work and home life, especially the car/girlfriend situation, absolutely nothing has gone according to plan for the past month. I pride myself on being the guy who has everything planned and coordinate every minute detail in order to reduce frustration and confusion for other people. I might get slightly upset when I am not shown the same respect, especially when I'm paying for it.

Mushroom clouds will enter the atmosphere this afternoon. I hope the owner of the shop brought an extra ass with him today, he's going to need one.

Oh it'll work out alright. The same way everything else does, at my expense of cash and time that I am already short on. I'll make it right, but it's bullshit to pay someone else to make it right after paying the insurance company to pay for it. Deep breaths, I'll go pick up my car, take more time off from work that I can't afford due to current projects being behind schedule and in no way will meet deadlines. Beyond over people's incompetence that I ultimately pay for. Demons will be unleashed today.

Ok... I was going to add to my post "you don't need the stress."

No offense to body shops but it almost sounds par for the course.

I always kind of expect something to go wrong and it's never at the right time.

PS - no offense to Tommy-G. I'm sure you run a tight ship.

King Rudi Just invite a few Cowboys cheerleaders (or team of choice) to your home and it'll be fine.

Sounds like fun. His girlfriend might not like it, though. Unless she's into that sort of thing.
