this morning i get a call from a long time customer, he says he needs a pickup asap.
so..... i rush over (45 minute drive on a sunday) when i get there he has 14 - "2 cubic foot" boxes full of very small pieces of metal, plastic plates from the cd rom slot on new PC cases, plastic bags with audio cables that go from the cd rom to the motherboard ($2.00 worth) & thats it.....(grumble grumble). :!: ...
i say thank you, shake his hand & off i go back to my shop.
halfway back to my shop i turn right on to the highway & head home when i should have turned left to go to my shop.....(grumble grumble).. :!: ..
i get home, park in the parking lot & get out of my van, i pull out my phone to text my wife about how .....(grumble grumble). :!: ... my day went.
as i am looking down at my phone i see a $50.00 dollar bill on the ground, thinking quick i pick it up, wet my finger in my mouth to see which way the wind was blowing, i look in the direction of the wind & there was a $20.00 bill. at that moment i was very happy that i took that right turn & not a left :lol:
and no longer cared about being called out on a sunday to pick up a bunch of worthless scrap.......... :!: ...(happy happy, free tank of gas).. :!: ..
