Rick’s Ramblings

I have spent the better part of the day reading reports and surveys about the economy, and how it is effecting the auto industry. Not the most encouraging reading. Yet many indicators show the economy to be healthy, robust even. But in this industry, and others that feed off the auto business; repair shops, financial institutions, and the like, we simply are not seeing the results of a healthy economy. Scary!

I wore a pink oxford to work today, Hey, it looked nice! And this afternoon, a friend of mine stopped in; he was wearing a lavender shirt! I told him we would not be allowed to be seen in public together today.

I have been working on securing a loan for a credit challenged individual. The bank required a utility bill to prove residency. He brought me in the bill today… it was a termination notice for his gas. You can’t make this up!

My mom is moving this weekend. She is leaving the place her and my father had lived for several years before his death. Although she misses my dad terribly, she is eagerly anticipating moving on with her life in a new home. They would have celebrated their 53rd Wedding Anniversary a few weeks ago. I couldn’t help but weep.

A recent incident helped me decide I will no longer be nice to rude fuckers!

Although everyone’s life has it’s ups and downs, mine has hit a very nice rhythm.

    I’m teaching my daughter that it’s okay not to be nice to rude people. She has a heart of gold. I wouldn’t mind if it were silver every now and then. Some people are predators that go after good people. It’s a shame, but it’s part of life. Sometimes we need to move on and not become bitter.

    Kuckie- It was the word that aptly expressed my meaning.

    scarlet- I have become weary of allowing disrespectful behavior to continue around me.

    Scarlet–loved the idea of an occasional heart of silver : ) My 20y.o. daughter is just now learning to protect herself a little better from people who will take and take and take . . .
