So, the Y came by with a cheap burger for lunch. seems his day has just been.....one of THOSE!
as a state employee, he drives a state car. that means twice a month pro car wahs (he has to turn in receipts) and regular servicing. THAT is today
So, he checked with the shop yesterday (Can I....make an APPOINTMENT?) "Nah!" says the guy (there's ALWAYS a GUY!) just come on in tomorrow morning and we'll have you in and out.
well, THAT worked about as well as it usually does.
He shows up this AM, Kindle in hand, ready to sit himself in a too small, incredibly uncomfortable cahir for heaven knows how long. even brought a large cup of his own home roasted coffee.
"Er, we're a bit backed up, but, come back around 2PM and we can get you in"
So, he comes here with cheap burgers and in a MOOD!
We discuss the recent political situation and Supreme Court decisions and manage to each cheap burgers. cause, he's not ALLOWED to sit and WAIT his turn at the mechanic shop, he has to go make people mad until the mechanic is ready to take care of the car. hence, the original request.....for an APPOINTMENT!!!
so, he can't wander far. think, a daisy pattern. the mechanic is the center of the flower and he drives the loops of the petals to the nearest place with an elevator that hasn't been made mad in a while. Makes them mad, swings back tot he mechanic, lather rinse repeat.
this goes on until he grouses by here with cheap burgers.
so, as he grumps his way back to the still unserviced staTE CAR, HE SAYS, "wELL, LET ME GO SEE WHO'S GONNA MAKE ME MAD next"
instantly, MY HAND SHOOTS INTO THE AIR, "mememememe!!" i SCREAM!!
HE SMILES (FINALLY) AND SAYS, "Well, you ARE the expert, but I need to go check with the amateurs..."
And off he goes.
Nice to know he actually acknowledges that I'm good at something!!!
