It's a little late, but it's finally time for another edition of Jamie's Hero and Villain of the Week! This week's picks feature incredible heights and sinking lows.
Hero of the Week: Bruce
Bruce is a friend of the family who works for Projet Aviation. Knowing that I was looking for part-time work, he spent over a month working to get me an interview with the company. I've been working for Projet a little less than a month, and it's fantastic! I get to meet lots of interesting people and there is a lot of variety every day. I'm also learning a lot about successfully running a small business. Plus, there are lots of side perks. For example, yesterday a flight instructor gave me a free lesson because his student cancelled. That's right--I flew an airplane! So Bruce is definitely my hero this week for giving me this wonderful opportunity!
Villain of the Week: High Curbs
I had a bit of a run-in with a street curb this week. Curbing a tire is not unheard of (or even uncommon) for me, but this particular curb was so high and presumably jagged that it ripped a 2" gash in my tire. The popping sound was so loud that a man walking on the sidewalk nearby nearly jumped out of his shoes. Within minutes, my perfectly sound tire was reduced to a useless pile of rubber. My poor car spent the entire next day in the shop getting a new tire (Yep, all day. Don't go to Firestone to get tires.). All in all, it was an incident with the earmarks of villainry.
That's all for now. Have a great week!

Your job makes me jealous, Red Barron; even your uniforms are flattering. This is just not right.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, Bruce (and Maria, CPA extraordinaire) are fantastic people and deserve a parade.
Ok, based on what your sister said, I want a picture of your uniform! Also, the Firestone in Harrisonburg is the only place I go to for anything they can take care of them. They are awesome! I'm sorry your Firestone sucks :(
