Hot-Headed or Cold-Hearted?

Yesterday brought another adventure with my truck’s A/C. As we were traveling across the desert it began blowing warm air again. This time the volume of air was reduced as well. I thought to myself “this is familiar, the filter must be clogged again”. So I pulled over and checked the filter. It was somewhat clogged, but not enough to cause the major problem. I was forced to contact our roadside assistance line to request repairs. The return message said my wait time would be 29 minutes. Well, 2 hours later I still had not received a call so I sent in another request. This time the return message said my wait time would be 73 minutes. Guess I lost my place in line? Anyway, I made a phone call and received an immediate response; we were heading to the dealership in Las Vegas again. Cannery Hotel and Casino here we come!

With all of the unemployment in America, why is it so hard to get good, hard-working employees that appreciate the job they currently have? Has the unemployment situation gotten like 9-11? Have we so quickly forgotten to be thankful for what we have? Am I expecting too much? Should I just shut my mouth and be thankful to have a job, no matter how poorly others around me do theirs? Have I lost all my compassion for people while in the heat of the moment? Am I so “hot-headed” that I’ve become “cold-hearted”? I’m sure most of you are tired of me using the word “incompetence”, but it just seems to fit so often these days. So many questions and so few answers.

Today’s blog does not bring any special words of wisdom. You probably won’t get much entertainment out of it either. But this is a better way to vent than to scream and holler at people that can’t do anything about it. Hope you have a great day! Maybe tomorrow will bring some great realization of the lesson I am missing in today’s trials.

PS: The truck is fixed and we are waiting on another load. Turns out the compressor had to be replaced. I would think they would have checked that last time we were here (only a week and a half ago).
