How can we keep sane without laughing at ourselves once in a while. I had quite an embarrassing moment today. A real, “what the [BLEEP] did I just do” moment. If you remember me talking about the suspected swinger couple that asked to borrow my pool… we’ll, here lately she’s been giving us the salutation “Love you”. Yep, really creeping me out this year. The problem, is that my social skills have diminished significantly since doing a job I rarely talk to people. I’m used to talking to my wife and daughter. Both of which I tell them that I love them before leaving or if they leave before me. Both my parents always say it when I get off the phone. The first few times this client said it, I was like “alright, glad we can help, see ya next week”. Today, she said that and instinctively I said it back. After the guys laughed at me, one said that I probably made her day and she probably rushed in to tell her husband. I can’t believe I did that. The guys tried to make me feel better, but it didn’t work.
