Sunday Sayings...

 

 

What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it.  Ezra Pound

 

I'm exhausted, but on my last day of a 7 in a row work week.  This week left us minus a manager.  He wasn't "completely" doing his job, they had warned him x2 previously.  Not real sure what the issues were, they are passing around Safety violations...could be a host of issues...not our business to know anyway... I don't like to see anyone lose their job,  I hope all goes well for him & his family tho....

I was able to "break" away from the Service desk one day this week....aaah the taste of freedom.  They needed help with pricing...so I volunteered to assist.  I was given the Electrical dept....a few of our displays were marked down so I had to change the tags....Up/Down the ladder a multiple times... a million lights blasting in my face...my hormones going nuts....led me to a "Sweating" fit I've never seen....lol  never mind the fact I'm so out of shape....Oi!  I'm still paying the "price" two days later, my thighs are screaming for relief.....lol

On with Cboi & car .....we're dropping a new engine in the Jeep....my friend at work her husband is a mechanic...he checked the Jeep out, gave his opinions...told us some stuff we didn't know, and a lot we already did...

We are keeping our fingers crossed that the engine arrives this week, and by next weekend the mechanic will be working on it...We want Cboi to assist, seems as tho he added some high octane to the gas on a regular basis...thought it would help on mileage (couple that with some other stuff)...she sure was running hot....lol  Better to laugh about it, than cry....
