Our estimated snowfall has declined to 2- 5 inches. Yay. That will make the day a lot easier. However, I hope it's enough that the board meeting I'm supposed to be at tonight gets cancelled.

I am wondering if others feel this way. It is like I have "F*CK WITH ME" written across my forehead.

I got a brake job done yesterday. Dropped it off at 8:30. The manager did my paperwork. I asked him the price of an oil change too. He said $59.00. I laughed and told him that was ridiculous and to add 2 or 3 quarts today. New pads and rotor resurfacing for both front were on special, $60.00 off for $129.99 ... it was the same for both rear ones too. I told him to call me as soon as it was inspected and tell me what it needed and give me the price. He did not call. I called at 11:30, he was not there but the mechanic who was mumbling and not much audible said they could go on and start then ... it would be ready at 1:30. Since I could not hear him much, I said,"so it is only the front ones and it will be $129.99 plus the oil, right?" He said, "yea." I called at 1:30 before I told my ride to take me. I asked the total charge and it was $448.00. They replaced both front rotors with new ones. I started laughing and asked for the manager. He was not available. On the ride over there, the manager called. I told him he needed to adjust the price before I got there and bring it down to $129.99 and 2 or 3 quarts of oil because that is the quote the mechanic agreed with me on at 11:30. He said the rotors could not be turned because they were too far gone. I said that was his problem since he never found time to call and tell me ... and that his mechanic told me $129.99 at 11:30 before he started the work. When I walked in, I ensured all the customers were aware of this conflict. This manager even tried to pull a fast one about the oil. He said it was store policy not to add oil but to do an oil change. I told him he had this same knowledge this morning when I asked him to add 2 or 3 quarts ... and that I would not pay for the oil change either. He adjusted the total down to $144.11 and asked if it was acceptable to me. I said it was fine. Also informed him if I had heard from him and he had told me the rotors needed replacing with new ones and quoted me the $448.00 before the work started, I would have gladly paid for them but I did not play little boy games.

I do not enjoy having to act this way one bit but sometimes it is necessary to rise to the occasion. :(

Going to work ,and i just don’t feel like it. My mind is elsewhere :awww:

Work. There’s a project I’ve been delaying for a few weeks, but I need to tackle it today or at least start on it. Part of my job is keeping my manager smiling and she won’t be a happy camper if I keep kicking this to the bottom of my to-do list.

Work life could be worse.

:bow:

coffee, music, garden ..i do my best thinking inthe dark

...If I tell you, can you keep the secret?

My car and my stupidity are on my mind. I am in the habit of leaving my front door unlocked, safe neighbourhood syndrome maybe. So today a new delivery driver called, I was upstairs and he opened the door and left a parcel in the porch, I came straight down and as I walked through the house I could see him sitting in his van eyeing my car and the house up closely for quite a while. I picked up my parcel and locked my door, still he sat and watched. My keys are kept not far from the door in a dish, keys to the house and car, convenient for any would be burglar or car thief. My door will be locked from now on and the keys have been relocated.

Steven Hawking passed today...without his illuminated mind, the world feels dimmer

Acknowledgement...it may be a silent exchange, but worthy to take the time to Acknowledge someone's journey and efforts.

On my mind - Tomorrow morning. Important appointment. WOOT.

How many people i have to meet today. Im nervous about being asked a ton of questions. However i got told by a few that i look like mom and have her mannerisms.

The multiple blessings I received today.

I love finding the little gadget sale bins at Lowes and Home Depot. I recently found some tiny Gorilla brand acrylic hinges. A perfect use for them will suddenly arise in the future. :)

Wondering if there will be any delays for my flight back to Texas. And getting a copy of moms death certificate so i can travel with some of her ashes.

Getting estimates for my truck tomorrow and making sure they do it right. I found visible damage that the Toyota dealer didn't notice or add to the estimate.

Sorry I'm late for work.

I was leaving my apartment and then I sat down.

– work
– vacation
