Tim Hortons call

This is sort of funny.

Kirk and I are in the shop working. He is welding and I'm cutting aluminum. I'm almost done my part of the job but we ran out of material just awhile ago. Anyway, back to the call.

The phone rings and since we have "caller ID" Kirk can see it is Tim Hortons. They only call when they need you to come into work. I thought the man was going to have a panic attack. He excitedly says "It's Tim Hortons! What do you want me to say? You're not here!"

I quickly calmed him down and took the phone. It was obvious he did not want me to go into work. Yes, they did need someone to come in. I gave a short explanation I was busy and that was that. Kirk is now relieved that he has me for the day and his comments are - why don't you quit?

I'm not going to give up yet, because there are still some good days and I'm starting to enjoy working with certain people. Besides, if I quit, I'd be right back to - needing to get out of the house a few days a week.

The funny part is; Kirk's reactions when we sees "Caller ID" showing - Tim Hortons.
I guess you'd have to be there.
