God I'm an IDIOT!
5:30pm, Today: I've been outside all day scraping and powerwashing the gunk off an engine I just bought to prep it for paint.
Tim calls. (For those who
don't know, Tim is my 'friend' from the local radiator shop that I'm interested in.... we've reciprocated affections.) I pick up because I see him on my caller ID.
Me: Hello Tim
Him: Hello Justin.......
.......
...what are you doing?
(This is where the IDIOT part is)
Me: Well, I'm powerwashing this motor I just got. I've been working on it pretty much all day. It's filthy.
Him: Oh. ..........well did you try that stuff I was talking about?
Me: The oven cleaner? Yeah, but I'm still having to scrape the grease off manually because that didn't even cut it.
Him: Ah... well I was just calling to say that I finished your truck radiator today..... so it's done. I just have to paint it and I'm going to be doing that tomorrow.
Me: Ah, fantastic!
Him: Yeah... so.......
Me: I'll um... I'll come by tomorrow and bother you.
Him: Sounds good.... well, I'll see you then!
Me: Yep, see you then!
Him:....have a good night...
Me: You too!
It wasn't till I hung up that it hit me like a ton of bricks. GAAAHHHHH!!!!! I FUCKING BLEW IT!!!!! Jesus, how stoopid can I be? GOD!
I don't want to just call him back .... shit.
I'm STILL banging my head on the table! Probably coulda gotten laid tonight instead of watching Simpsons and Family Guy reruns.
If I was smart, when he said 'what are you doing' all I needed to say is 'Nothing.'
Oh well. I'll go over there tomorrow and invite him over. That'll set things straight.
