Oh well it's better then my last job's nick name.... Ty-Stick.
Work has been going well and I get along with all the people there even though they give me weird nick names. But today I was approached by several of my co-workers after I had pulled out a car. They had that look on there faces like they had just been talking about me while I was out of the shop.
"There is something wrong with you T-Rod" said my manager. (T-Rod is short for Ty-Rod, who knew) "Yeah, we can't figure it out but there must be something really bad about you" said Will, a co-worker. "You don't drink, you don't smoke, you don't cuss, you don't go out, there has to be something that's just awful about you. We don't know what it is yet but we're going to find out!"
"I don't know" I said "I'm not really that good of a person."
"Come on" said my manager "There has to be something that you do."
I thought about it for a little while trying to think through the many sins I have that I could tell them about and then I knew what it was.
"I love rock-n-roll!"
They all laughed and didn't really think that it was a good answer but it has been doing good for me for a long time. Rock-n-roll is one of the best and worst things about life, just like all the terrible things that they like to do.
They're all going to hell... not really, but seriously, they are.

Just cut the whole thing off

This is what I have been doing at school


Dear God let this engine run when we put it back together.
What a funny - and neat - conversation. They notice you're different from them, and it obviously intrigues them. I pray they may see this "difference" goes beyond your good outward behavior.
ReplyDeleteI'm also praying the engine runs. Friday, right?
I miss you, and I'm so proud of you. <3
May we call you T-Rod? It's catchy :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm . . . is it any wonder why I love you so much?
ReplyDeleteStart, engine! Start!
(Thanks for the conversation the other day. Your timing was perfect.)
because you MUST be a lunatic if you don't cuss, smoke, drink, or go out, right. =D
ReplyDeleteI can picture just where you are today! It helps. :)
ReplyDeleteStill miss you, though.
