It’s another ultra-challenging and dynamic day out there, however I met some folks yesterday who were dealing well and I noted how and why.

The sky is trash, save Mercury which is well aspected by both Mars and Uranus. My cell phone was repaired yesterday by an eccentric (Uranus) man (Mars) who made quips (Mercury) the whole time I was in the store. Not just to me but to the crowd of 10-12 gathered at his counter as if it were a bar.

“Help you?” he said as I approached.

“Yeah. Need to know if I need a battery or a phone.”

“That’ll be $700,” he said with a straight face.

“Why not a thousand?” I asked.

Every time someone new walked in he would engage them. “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting for you and you’re late.”

The person would stare dumbly and he’s keep his straight face.

A gal walked in and explained her little brother had changed the code on her phone. She’d spent 2 days trying to unlock it.

“Are you ready to spend twenty dollars?” he asked. “Because this is one of those cases when you’re going to pay for knowledge. And when you see how fast I fix that phone you may not be happy…”

She was Mexican and her phone kept ringing in the store… music in Spanish would blare and each time the guy would stand up and move his hips. The girl was mortified but it was funny as hell. Then here comes a woman… beehive hair. She was a trip. She told the guy her problem… we’re all standing there.

“That’s going to cost you fifty dollars,” she said.

“Fifty?”

“Yeah. Too bad you didn’t come yesterday. Yesterday everything was half-price!”

I snorted.

“Can I have an application?” she said.

There was a gal working with this guy. Programming phones and racking in the dough. “You want to apply?” There was a sign on the door… need help and they definitely do. Open just a month, business is booming.

“Yes.”

“And you speak Spanish?” the gal asked in Spanish.

The gal with the beehive hair said, “Si. I speak it today, I don’t know about tomorrow.”

::snort::

You get the idea.

Stay in your head. Quip. We’ve still got Jupiter in Sadge so tell jokes and this day will be grand.
