the lot guy

 i have a car again, a toyota. i started early on car shopping and sent 2 messages to different dealers. both sent emails, one called me. found out they were willing to have a lot guy pick me up and bring me to the dealership. we had a nice chat on the way in, covering many subjects. one of these was seeing some empty buildings, and how i have no choice but to write it off as 'economic darwinism'. but i still bemoan it. it took plenty of time to get it done, but by the end of the day it was finished. it meant calling a rep from the credit union, same one from the previous day, to find out there was some restrictions on the promotion rate i was approved for. i got a mechanic check done on the car, a place near the bank, and the result was hearing how the shop spoke well of the dealer and of the car. this made it easier to go forward. so i liked being able to call my boss and say i would be back at work on friday. i let a college roommate know by text, and the response was 'that was fast'. well i wanted to go back to work. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 85 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when amy said ' i am counting on it' as she was sick and sheldon was rubbing something on her chest, and was warned about tingling. it was followed by the one where the friends told their holiday stories. sheldon and amy went to texas, leonard and penny went on a christmas tree shopping fiasco.
