Gentle, most beloved readers of Body Shop Life, welcome to my Friday Night. It is 45 minutes after closing and I sit here waiting on a body man to finish priming some work. What a week. My last customer was picking up a car in a two tone finish, the local gangster type. (No offense, I just love gangsters, really) He owed over 3 grand waited until 20 minutes after closing to decide to pay for and take his car and was to high to count his money. He had a wad of $100s to choke a dinosaur and was counting out 5 at at time and repeating this act over and over. I asked him if he need help counting AND that was the wrong thing to say! So, we waited. Money paid, two tone gone.
It was cooler this week than in the last few and there seemed to be Man Drama galore! They were happy campers when it was too hot to bicker, but as soon as it cooled off, pissing matches began. To be discussed in depth later.....
A young man who was arrested, (pinched) and did not call in or report to work for a week, was replaced. His girlfriend called to tell me she was tired of his not being responsible and so was I by the way. She stated she was not bailing him out and did not know when he would be back. I replaced him, as any business person would. Now I have seven pages to fill out as to why he should not get unemployment. What do these people think???
Body man gone, I am going home to a shower and early to bed. I hope all of you have a better Friday night than I, we do. All my guys are pooped and all of you have cars back. Party on customers. Love to all and God Bless, Shangri La
