Here's to owning your own business!!!!!

Good evening kind readers,

It is late on a Friday and I just finished cleaning and prepping a truck for tomorrow in one of my paint booths called London. I named our two paint booths London and Paris.  Even the reps know when I call for service to ask, is it Paris or London.

My painter agreed to paint it in the am on a Sat, for me, God love the man.

I have been very depressed lately, thus, you have not heard much from me.  It is hard to be funny when everything stinks.  I have lost my son, and nothing can make that ok.

So I will give it my best.

We get these calls...I have never talked about the phone calls, just the people who come in.  I get hung up on so many times because I cannot give someone a price on a "dent" over the phone.  "Well, thanks for nothing!!!" click.

Peter did an estimate for a very nice gentleman, a huge discount and he make an apt. for Monday.....today he called, said, "I do not like you people and I won't be there Monday."  CLICK.  What the hell..???  Was it Bi-polar or a bad reaction to alcohol???

I am thinking everyone in the shop needs to spend one half a day on the phones to work in the back.

I had a lady bring her car back today complaining about spots on it.....bug guts..., yes, bug guts.  Oh yes, that is my problem lady.  let me repaint your car!

It was a stress day in the shop.  Man drama to the max.  I did manage to get stuff done,  I just want to tell the GUYS to grow up.   Egos, why did God create them?

So, I continued my conversation, "what is normal"  With my PHD in Psychology friend.  Definition of Normal:  2% variation from the mean.  Ok, I now have several definitions.  I wish I could talk to the College prof of Sociology who first defined "normal" for me.  Is there a normal????  Not here!

 EVERYONE!  have a great weekend.  Shangre La
