Friday, The 20th of March, 2009

Friday came so quickly. It doesn't even feel like Friday, or Payday for that matter. I've started to get into this state of mind. It's like this... What is the significance of "Payday"? I figure if I stop looking forward to Paydays and what not i'll be more frugal with my money and spending habits. One of the first changes i'm trying to make is to not cash my check till the Saturday after I get my check. It helps me get some good time to think about whats' really important and needs to be taken care of.

That's out of the way, so what is going down this weekend you ask? I'm planning on going to the old house to pick up my computer desk, bottom portion of my toolbox, 30 gal fish tank, rock band stuff, is exhaust, mom's stuff, and to see Nick and Ben. That's my Saturday. I would like to take Mozart for a long walk or get some of the other things that have been on my to do list for way too long. I don't have any plans on Sunday evening.. or The day portion for that matter. I'll figure something out I think. Than it's back to work on Monday to do it all over again for two more weeks. The only difference is that I won't be broke, I'll actually be somewhat caught up on my bills for a change! If it happens as planned I will blame some of my success on you, BLOG! It really helps me to write down my thoughts and take a look at it as if I wasn't me at all. It's alot easier for me to tell myself to do something when I see the affects of my actions on paper.

So, lets talk about work for a second. I've been trying my best to not get so annoyed/angered at the stuff that goes on at the shop. Stuff that makes me look like i'm not doing my job when I know it's clearly not the case. I won't get into it, for fear that I will start my day off on the wrong foot. I will say that I've just been taking deep breaths, taking a second to think that they are human and humans make mistakes. Maybe it's not the Service Advisors fault the customer just "showed up" out of the blue to pick up their car that hasn't been washed yet and is dirty as fuck and just so happens to be a dodge sprinter. (fuck.). So many things can happen and so many things change with so many factors the only way I can come to accept it as ok is to know that things like this are going to happen. It's how this business works. All I can do is do my best to make sure it doesn't happen. If the Service Advisors won't change i'll have to adapt to it. And that my friends is what makes an exceptional worker, compared to your average one. I try to do my best and let it show in my work. That's the best I can do.

And I do it all for the money and the respect and reputation. Not selling drugs, dummy. Washing these cars, changing the water in those mop buckets, emptying garbage bins, recycling recyclables, cleaning what's been dirty for years... that's all me. Someday I know I will get to a place in this industry where i'm sincerely happy and content with what i'm doing. That's not to say i'm not at the moment but I will say it's not what I want to be doing when I'm 25-26. I guess i'm starting to get paranoid about the future.... fuck. lets' not get started going down this road. I'm done blogging for now.

Finish strong today. It's Friday!
