I like same-o same-o days for the most part. OK, with a bit of excitement thrown in once in awhile.
Home is the same-o, work this week has been the excitement part.
Most of the time work is work, but this week has just been "one of those" kind of weeks...so you can share in my chaos!
Friday night, a gal from out of town was in a hurry to get to the High School Basketball game to watch her son play. Not paying attention she managed to fill her half-empty gas tank with gas. Only she has a VW diesel car.....oopsy!
She didn't realize until she came into pay......I felt so bad for her (the look on her face: loss and desperation, like a lost puppy). I couldn't help but feel sorry for her (most would of just made fun of her or figured it was HER problem.....)
She went to call her husband, I told her NOT to start the car, just leave it sit where it was.
I called a mechanic, and they really didn't want to do help, gee, it WAS Friday closing time after all....low and behold the competition showed up (he was just getting gas minding his own business) and he graciously helped this lady. (Divine Intervention?!?) I'm not sure how it all turned out, but I gave her my phone number in case she needed anything. I didn't get a call, so no news is good news!
While talking to her (trying to keep her calmed down and chilled out, I really thought she was gonna start crying)....come to find out she went to my high school and graduated only a couple of years ahead of me.
Small world sometimes!
Saturday afternoon, Patrick stopped in after dropping Kyle off at work. I had him flag down a lady that thought her credit card paid at the pump....nope. Thank goodness he was there.....then Sat afternoon about dark, of course its busy, the weather is warmer, many are out and about shopping or going out to eat.
The phone rings and its the dispatcher. What?? It seems someone called 911 from the outside payphone, and they sent deputies (lights going on both cars of course). Oh boy.....so I have a bunch of people wondering what is going on, asking me questions, I'm on the phone with the dispatcher sorting things out, and I'm also waiting on customers, keeping track of who has what fuel, answering the policeman's questions....I guess when it rains it pours.....
Maybe Sunday things will be "normal". I've had enough "excitement" for the last week! :-)
