About Me

end of a legacy

I've tried to escape my father's business, for the past 20 years I've been dragged there kicking and screaming. especially when you put into the eyes of a 9 year old kid, to just go out and play. instead I've been subject to hard work, covered in grease, different degrees of injuries. today he's making arrangements for the business to be sold. if you asked me 20 years ago, I would've jumped for joy at the news, no more work, more playtime. but now that I'm older, I realized that it's helped to shape me into a person that has a strong work ethic. I've learned skills to help me to fix almost anything. it gave me the foundation to quickly learn other skills. without the business, everything that we have might not be there. I would probably end up a spoiled, unappreciative and selfish person. now that it's gone, I'll miss it.

as for my father, I'm worried about him. he doesn't know how to relax, he works 5 12hr days, 1 8hr a week. with that huge chunk of time given back to him, I don't know what he'll do with himself. no hobbies, no real interests. I don't really know what to help.

the existing staff will still be there. which is great since I've known them for a very long time. they've watched me grow up, so they're like family. me being there is iffy, I was only there because my dad asked me to be there, no real education with cars. I do have a plan for if I'm officially laid off from working saturdays.
