Well, my Monday turned out to be pretty good

I needed to have an oil change done on the van, so I had made an appointment at the shop within walking distance of the house. My intentions were to just drop the damned thing off first thing in the morning, walk home and wait for them to call later today telling me it was ready.

When I got there at 8am the owner pulled it right into a bay and told me he'd be starting on it shortly, so I figured I might as well wait but I didn't bring my book to pass the time. 

I asked the girl in the office if they had any gun magazines laying around and she said, "Nope, but I have something better," and went out into the shop, returning with a 5-6 month old Golden Retriever who immediately came over and crawled into my lap, squirming and licking my face, just as happy as she could be.

Any business with a waiting room needs to adopt this policy immediately. I swear, I could have a heart attack later today and my last dying thought would be "Right on, I got to play with a puppy today."
