Some things make my heart smile.. this is one..
Theres a girl.. early 20s. A regular client who comes in often. A short, frail, pale looking thing with a bob haircut and always a smile. Someone youd expect in a sun dress with a needlepoint habit.
Except the thing is.. she works at the oil change place. No, not at the counter, down in the pit. Dirt under her fingernails, oil on her face.
I saw her in action yesterday goin toe to toe with the guys and I couldnt help but smile.

My heart is so sad this morning.
I woke up to a text from my asst mgr at work that she has been transferred.
Ok.. Im an older guy and shes in her early 20s. We have this dad/friend relationship. Nothing we cant talk about, nothing I wouldnt do for her. She holds a special place in my heart and now shes gone.
Yes, the world will go on..
Just.. sad.
So heres a peek into the dark recesses of my mind..
Ill occaisonally say
"Its gonna be a good day tater"
This is a reference to a Ron White standup routine were he has a bulldog and sometimes when the dog is sleeping he says he puts m&m in the dogs jowels so when the dog wakes up he thinks..
its gonna be a good day tater.
And if youre a bulldog wakin up to m&ms.. gonna haveta agree 😁

Alas..
In the ongoing project that is slowly proving every facet of Murphys Law to be true..
The voice works
The servos work
The joystick works
Put it all together and..
The joystick takes over the sound and it crashes on voice.
I got options.. but still.. its getting almost to that moniacle laughing phase (eyetwitch).. lol..sigh..

Maybe its that kids now have no future and they know it. No way to buy a house, no way to live on one income, no way to pay for healthcare everywhere they look theyre screwed and heres bajillionaires with multiple mega yachts and multiple jets with monster mansions. Not hard to see that being a sore spot.
