ok ok, so i know that i've been pretty horrible about keeping up with this thing, but i'm trying here. Ever since my new manager came things have been a little hectic at work, and that means i'm dead tired by the time i get home, which in turn means i'm not sitting at my computer blogging about my day, or anything else for that matter.

I would normally continue to complain about how much fatty sucks as a manager, but mike keeps telling me i'm too negative and complain too much so i will just stop at he sucks.

On the flipside however, i only have a few more weeks to deal with his sucking, because (thank god) i'm being sent to the airport. Which, as daunting as it sounds is actually a great thing. The airport is the biggest location in the group with anywhere from 800 to 1100 cars per day. Having airport experience is one of the best things you can do for your "enterprise resume".

As much as i'm excited to go, i'm kind of a little sad too. Ever since Jeff left i've become the contact for most of our body shops. They call and talk to me about bills and customers and pretty much anything they might need from us. Its great to know that they feel comfortable dealing with me, and i've developed relationships with these people. I mean, even the guys that do our oil changes love me, and always give me a discount. It sucks to have to give something like that up.

Now i know i'm not giving it up entirely, and after my 4 months i will most likely be leaving my trailer behind for a promotion to another branch and i'l be able to forge similar relationships in the future. I'm just going to miss my trailer, and my customers, and my body shop guys. I really never thought i would say that, but i will. Its kind of an awesome feeling when customers always come to you because they know you, and they ask for you when they call because they trust you.

After a long tough day I always say how i do not want to be in customer service forever. I always want to get out of the front lines. But when i really start to think about it, i love intereacting with customers. People are fucking crazy.. and i love them for it.

On a completely different note, i'm so excited it is starting its spring, not only does that mean baseball! but i get to play outside again. Last weekend me and mike played some tennis. Now when i say we played, what i really mean is mike patiently tried to teach me proper form while really he spent a lot of the time searching for the balls i hit out of the court. But it was fun,and i can't wait to get a good weekend to play again. And i hope i can get better so mike can actually play with me instead of teach.

Otherwise things have been pretty normal, and appear to be picking up this month. I'm going to the phila this weekend for the nephew's birthday party, and then mike's brother and sister will be here next week for their spring break. then 3 weeks from now it will be back up to the phila for kristi's house warming party and maybe a phil's game? huh? maybe? i'll have to check the schedule..

anyways, i'll just leave you all with this..
