We just got back from SpeeDee Oil Change & Tune-Up after paying $822.15 for the 30/60/90 tune-up for a 6-cylinder car. I maxed out that nice credit card. Sheesh!
My front brakes were gone and had to be replaced. Mario, the technician, said: ‘Don’t mess with the brakes’. Of course, I had to get that done even though I was strapped for cash.
The fluids for transmission, rear differential, coolant and oil were flushed and replaced, except for the power steering. The spark plugs were replaced, too.
After depositing my EDD and mailing off the last EDD form, hopefully, I could qualify for my very first extension. I expect to see a letter tomorrow after filing last Friday.
But if I land this job via a temporary agency, I could end up seeing my old co-workers! Wow! I remember their names, too. They are older than me and family of their own. Their manager is cool, too.
So there is no one to impress in the collections department except my getting back to work and paying my taxes. This is one area of A/R that will help improve my communications skills and add to my resume.
Seriously, staying at home is not healthy! It means lack of socializing with my peers. But I’ve learned the old-timers are slower and do need my assistance from time to time.
Once again, in the upcoming two weeks, if nothing materializes from either ‘Arnie’ or ‘Barry’ or both, I’ll have to switch to the next level. It’s because the ‘bros’ weren’t being 100% square with me.
