So both the batteries in my truck died on me on Friday, so I have spent the weekend just walking around town and working around the house which was kind of a nice change for me (usually gone most weekends fishing or kayaking).

So today I get a call asking if I could come in and give a hand at the shop I was working at and get some packaging done for shipping. I told them I was SOL until a check came through today because of the batteries. Couple hours later they give me a call back and ask if I got it figured out, I was still without the money to do it so I told them until I get the batteries I am out and had to skip an interview because of it.

20 minutes later I get another call from them that they were going to buy me a new pair of batteries and deliver them to my house this evening (50+ miles from the shop) and if I was able to come in it was cool but not an issue if I still couldn't make it.

I just thought that was pretty cool and just one of many reasons I am going to miss working for them

 

so did you make it?

 

Still chillin at home right now, just got back from walking my Border Collie.

 

That's pretty swell. My weekends are usually pretty planned out with people calling me up to go out, etc. I always find it nice when I have time to just chill at home

Side note, the battery in my truck died and I'm getting a free one

 

Wow.. sounds like a great place to work for.. other than it being so far away. Both batteries?? You leave you lights on or have a constant drain?

 

No I had an alternator failure last year just before winter and they got drained a bit. Took them over to Les Schwab and they recharged them and told me they were good to go for at least the next three years (according to their tests ) So I figured I would run them for another year and then swap them out come fall...didn't make it that far and they were further gone than I had been led to believe.
