making lemonade

December 17th, 2019 at 02:30 pm

I realize my posts have been a bit of a bummer and was used to vent my frustration but maybe i need to try to see the possibility of lemonade out of the lemons.

I have a home / my family is doing well/ my investments just reported huge dividends and capital gains (most in retirement accts) only a bit in taxable investments/ i do not need this job but it is affording me the opportunity to sock away money to meet some goals.

my car would not start (the battery was low) i had to wait about 30 plus minute but DH came and jumped the car.
I had raised the hood in parking lot but not one person whom was leaving work asked if i need help or anything. i was a bit surprised as the act so nice in the context of work. My DH reminded me that some people do not know how to do simple things like give a jump. Basic life skills they need to hire someone.

All in all I am good the reason this job is so boring is most around me make it harder then it is create problems that do not exist and if they live their life that way it must be awful.

    Hubby is right...a lot of people have no idea how to do basic things. Plus, some folks are afraid of jumping cars because of the electronics and such.

    I think you hit the mark...so many people love drama and create it to give their lives some excitement!

    While i agree some of the newer cars can have more things like electronics but i find it odd no one even asked if i had help coming etc. I mentioned this at work and people were appalled that people walked by and not even asking anything.

    We've actually been told by more than one mechanic that cars should not be jump started by another car anymore as the electronic systems are substantially different than they used to be. It is possible to damage either or both cars in the process. You should only jump the car with one of those portable battery packs, not cables connected between the two batteries.

    I know how to do it. My wife and daughter both know how to do it. And all 3 of us know never to do it unless it's an absolute emergency. Battery dies? Call AAA and wait.
