Grab an Allen… Wrench

So much to talk about but so little time in the day. I thought it was Wednesday until a few minutes ago when my Mom told me it was actually Thursday. I have no idea how I lost an entire day, but eh, it isn’t the first time. I’m pretty sure I knew it was Thursday when I woke up, but while putting out fires all day the actual date meant nothing to the big scheme of things. I just realized tomorrow is Friday. Nice.

It is the small things that make the world awesome. You know the things you ignore while you’re flipping off the driver next to you for trying to merge into your lane. Yep you own it and if that SOB merges in front of you that means you suck as a person. Never ever let them get in front of you. Right now is the part where I’m supposed to say just kidding, but I see no point. You’re going to drive like a D-Bag regardless of what I say here. Make sure you get all the way over to the left and hit that cruise control at 1 mile over the speed limit. You’re in charge and the police need you out there keeping all those speeders in check. You are a superhero.

No sarcasm there brother. Funny the crap we put up with in life. I like to think of myself as semi-intelligent, but daily I’m reminded of how dumb I actually am. You know that little hose on the side of the sink we use to spray off dishes?? Well mine has been slowly getting less and less powerful over the years. It didn’t happen overnight, but I just assumed it got old, bitchy, and stopped putting out like most of the women I’ve dated over the years…. I use it mostly to fill up my water bottle that goes into my water cooler, but about 3 weeks ago it just stopped altogether.

I left it and just figured it was done for. I simply found other ways less convenient to do the tasks this spray hose used to do. Well today while maintenance came to change a light bulb in my kitchen I said “Hey you know that stupid hose by the sink doesn’t put out anymore.” The maintenance guy looked at my GF with a very confused look on his face. I pointed at the sink and said “HOSE”. We laughed. This is fun. He said I have a tool for that and pulled out an Allen wrench. There is another joke in there, but too easy.

He pulled the faucet off and cleaned out something. That stupid hose has more pressure than my new Trump shower head now. I can’t believe it. For the last 6 years I’ve dealt with that piece of crap not working worth a darn. All I had to do was ask someone and poof. Life is better with help. I don’t know everything and I’m happy to admit it. Sometimes we need a quick reminder that with a little advice from an unlikely source our lives can be better. Never shut down a conversation with someone simply because you have gotten used to things being the way they are.

There is some wisdom in there so remember if the stupid hose won’t put out, grab an Allen Wrench.
