TGIF!

It’s been a short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday but really it feels like it’s been the longest week in awhile… I’m so ready for it to be 430pm and it too be over.

Horrible weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, brought havoc in many ways… I got stuck on the side of a main road here in Calgary on Wednesday morning. One of the days that I’m actually glad to still be working at this dealership… Two lot guys came over with one of the trucks and pulled me out, surprisingly only being late for work by about 30 minutes. I felt a little defeated by it but it could have been a lot worse as the city struggled to commute in the 5cm snowfall of the previous night. It took a pep talk to get through the drive on Thursday morning but by then, the roads were only a little icy.

First major snowfall of the year ALWAYS means busy for this industry… People realizing that they need new winter tires or getting tires switched from their summers. To those that all of a sudden feel the need they need to do everything to their car to get through the winter; Oil Changes, Winter Packages & etc. They decide that they need it as soon as possible and feel the need to show their frustrations when they can’t understand why we’re so busy. Maybe because just like you are, everyone is freaking out over the snow Then there are the break downs and accidents, bring a flow of tow trucks in and out of the parking lot.

Now that the snow is melting, the dealership is getting back to normal…. The panic is over, for now anyways. People will go back to putting it off again leading to another mad dash. UGH!

Going for drinks with A after work… Long Overdue…
She’s joining the military…. She’s bad-ass I know. It means limited time left before they steal her away  I’ve decided I’ll be her military wife… hehe… Care Packages will include Nail Polish, Fashion Magazines & Mini Eggs…
