"Sugarism" #4

Me: "Wow! 36 years old and NOW they have me reading for the ingenue."

Sugar:"The what?"

Me: "The "tender, sweet, young thing."


Sugar: (reads the scene)"She doesn't seem very sweet."

"Sugarism" #3

This is actually the original "Sugarism."

My husband left me (for the second time) and I was in bed, surrounded by my cats and crying. I turned to her and said, "Oh God! I'm going to become some crazy cat lesbian!"

and she replied, "Oh sweetie you're...not a lesbian."

"Sugarism" #2

Me:"Sugar.. bitter, defensive and insecure is unattractive."

Sugar: "I'm not Bitter."

Mystery Car Conclusion

There are some surprises I just don’t always appreciate. One of them is what I call a mystery car. When I arrived today there was a Toyota Camry in the detailing center (not yet detailed). There were also a set of floor mats drying for a Sienna minivan however, NO minivan. In the office, there was a work ticket, but it was for a Honda Accord. The name on the ticket DID correspond with an appointment on the schedule but my partner in crime had neglected to mention what kind of car they were bringing in.
Clearly this looks like a case of the vehicle not being updated on the work ticket. However, the floor mats are a mystery and a concern. Because NO ONE wants to have to make the phone call to a customer that we forgot to put their floor mats back in because we set them out to dry.
Therefore the only rational explanation is that the customer actually DID bring in a Sienna minivan last night, but we washed it in hot water and it shrunk over night to a Camry. Luckily we had taken the floor mats out ahead of time. Thank goodness we got that cleared up.

A "Sugarism..."

"One night, when I couldn't sleep, I caught this show about insomniacs..."

Interesting Combo

A customer was waiting in the air conditioned office while we cleaned his car. I directed his attention to the bathroom, water cooler and the TV. He turned on the TV and surfed a bit until coming accross the Family Feud to which he exclaimed in his heavy middle eastern accent, "I love this show!"

I turned and smiled.

When a commercial came on, he looked around and spotted the Bible on the window sill. He then announced, "I like that you have the Holy Bible here. I love reading the Bible."

He then continued his wait watching the Family Feud and reading the Bible during commercials.

Fo some reason I found this combination of activities utterly amusing.

Trash

I'm curious as to why at least once a week I find pair of tennis shoes/sneakers in the trash at the car wash. What is it about washing their car or vacuuming it that suddenly makes them come to the conclusion that these shoes have out lived their usefulness and must be discarded, here and now,rather than say, donate them to Goodwill?

"Squirrel!"

The title is a reference to the movie "Up," when Doug the dog first meets them, and is talking about liking them, etc and suddely spots a "Squirrel!"

I am mentioning this now because my boss believes I resemble that remark. With each passing day, I seem to have the attention span of a butterfly.

Tonight while talking to Sugar I was in the middle of a sentance and noticed, "Ooo look I got a package!"

To which she replied, "Squirrel!"

*sigh*
