How was your day

Re: How was your day

I've actually been having some pretty good days recently. Four calls a day that were relatively easy to fix and somewhat unlikely to produce call backs. The service route was the circle of life (first and last call relatively close to home, and the others were in order on the circumference). The time in the car wasn't unusually long for me, usually over 75 miles but not much more, which is OK since I chose to work on the periphery and have had days when I did one call and racked up over three hundred miles. Getting home at a reasonable hour so that the employer gets their eight hours of honest work, but also I don't need to go to bed right after I park the work car. Also, less than average amounts of people who must drive very differently than me while I'm on the road (to describe it any other way leads to madness, and who needs that?).
The last weekend was decent as well. While gas prices and the new house payments prevent me from exploring like I used to do (d'oh...), the local weather has been nice. The new place has a larger back yard than I'm used to, but it has been nice and green so far this year. And the $80 riding mower makes short work of tending to it.
So, while it hasn't been terribly exciting, it has been pleasant. Pleasant is good.

I describe days like that as mellow, nothing to bum you out where you just relax a bit and do what needs to be done.

how was my day.....the same as it's been everyday for the last 17.5 months...just perfect....no one can annoy or upset me....if I can't fix it...I no longer get upset...as far as I'm concerned, there's more important things in life...if a copier is broke & the customer gives me grief...what's the problem...they still have their original....it's amazing what finding the right woman can do for you

Debs....i've told you before....ignore them all.....they're just jealous of you!!!

Re: How was your day

I can't be rude to people, it's not in my make up, I wish others would treat me with the same respect

I like when people are being rude to me and I just keep calm and laying on the 'nice guy' routine, makes them get even more angry.
I take it as a personal challenge to placate this type of person, it comes with the territory. 20 something years in the job make you immune to idiots

Yeah, that's all it takes.

All this week I keep waking up expecting to have a shit day and they keep turning out fine...aside from one in-shop machine that refuses to work no matter how many boards you put into it...in a way it's kind of nice to know that eventually a machine can kick your ass to the point where you stop caring entirely.

Good to hear, sounds great to me
