No keyless remote? What aeon is this car from?

I'm glad all that made you happy, BigV. Life is a lot better when you look at the bright side of things instead of the negative. Well done.

I went to the supermarket this morning for the usual weekly grocery shopping. I’m on nodding terms with one of the girls there but this morning she said ‘Good morning’ and accompanied it with a HUGE beaming smile.

Now, I’m old enough to be her dad, so I have to assume that she was smiling purely out of sympathy. Or pity.

Whatever the reason, it put a spring in this chap’s step.

Anyway, there’s always an entry on the debit side of the ledger to balance it out.

Some good news at work today - after putting my career on the line Monday afternoon and facing down the CEO in his den, it appears I have been heard - and a few things are set to happen. I don't have to throw up my hands and fade away after all.

Carruthers, perhaps it's because you're always a perfect gentleman and you actually make HER day.

Maybe she's being cheerful and friendly. As Sundae said, you being a gentleman and always acknowledging her with a nod made her decide to be cheerful. I usually give patients who come into the office a cheerful smile and greet them with my squeaky voice regardless of gender and age. Some are surprised and some smile.

Aliantha · 12-07-2014, 11:41 PM

Or maybe she just got laid and was feeling pretty good about everything. hahah

xoxoxoBruce · 12-07-2014, 11:48 PM

Yeah, I'll bet he's a refreshing change from the usual hoards she deals with daily. In her head she can play Emma Peel to his John Steed, or even Maid Marian to his Robin Hood... or is that Friar Tuck.

Always the gentleman, despite the days aggravation.

I just scored 5th row seats to see Bo Burnham perform in March. Ridiculously excited.

orthodoc · 12-13-2014, 09:07 AM

Got my Board exam results, finally (I wrote the thing in October) ... I passed! 99th percentile on the Core Prev Med exam, and top score nationally on the specialty Occ Med exam.

Still smiling three days later.
