Why be normal when you were born to stand out?

It's cloudy, cool, humid and I am achey all over, just not getting into it. Still thinking maybe a Monday got loose somewhere. Maybe some sort of cosmic payback for one of those Monday holidays.

I have no idea what day it is.
Well I just had one phone interview and it went swimmingly, I have another one scheduled for this afternoon, and those people are in dire need of a person who is familiar with Subi. I have a feeling that will go well.
Oh and normal is over rated.
Now off to facebook to piss someone off since I am not going out in that cold damp crap

I just call them as I see them, cruel as it may be.

I think Rick has the method down pretty well when it comes to pushing buttons. Good luck in the interviews though.

Joe, how is the weather looking for moving targets?

Looks like those boots don't work too well on SUVs.

It sure didn't last long. I wonder how it would fit on some of the Jeeps and trucks with the big tires?

I thought they were supposed to cover the lug nuts so you can't just change tires.

I'm 99% that little ass boot wouldn't go around the tires on my truck, and I'm 100% sure that I could pull the trick she did without it hitting anything!

Did you hear her say, "I just bought this car three months ago" I guess she forgot about the payment part

Would have been more effective to steal the lug nuts. I did not have the audio on since I am work and all. So that was a repo officer? His hair wasn't long enough to be Sniper.

grumble grumble grumble I was just informed that I have to be at the elementary school tonight for the Christmas show. My grandson is in it. I really didn't like going to these things when it was my kids and I am not to sure I like this idea any better now. Oh well gotta be supportive.

I just got off the phone with the fellow I have been talking to about his rental, and he has pulled his ad and is going to hold it for me till the end of Jan.
My feet are cold, I hate winter.
I talked to my realtor and if my son buys my house he is going to drop the listing and have no additional costs added. Looks like stuff may be coming together. Viva La warm climate

Yanno Dad could have sent you a 50 cal rifle and you could still use it as a bottle opener

I just landed one of the jobs I really really wanted, nt at the dealer. Subi finally called me and the reason they were dragging their feet was because the service manager just turned in his two weeks. Yeah, but I am still gonna poke my face in and say Hi.
The job I landed, pending a face to face meet, which I have no doubt I will nail, is at a family owned small shop that has been in biz for 38 years. The husband and wife are both drag racers and the wife is the fastest alcohol burning woman in the state. 6 seconds at 200 mph. Yeah I love her.
Just for you Brent, I will have a cigar in the shadow of cacti and post the pic here. I am ging out the first week of Jan for the interview.
Oh yeah the guy is also a licensed gun smith.
They need Subi help badly, Mercedes help badly, BMW help badly, yeah I got this
