The Mechanic

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?"

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag, and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new."

"So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...

“Try doing it with the engine running!"


Grey’s Anatomy is a repeat this Sunday. Last Sunday the previews suggested that this week’s episode would be a new one, and they showed a teaser for a new episode for two weeks from now. I auto program shows that I want to watch, because usually by the next day, I have forgotten what it was that I wanted to watch.

When I auto-programmed this week’s episode, I noticed it was a repeat. It is a big deal to me, because looking forward to Grey’s Anatomy every Sunday night is like someone who works full time, looking forward to a Friday.

Except for the fact that after the show is over, I go right back to work…

I read today (
source) that if a stay-at-home-mom was paid for the hours she worked plus overtime, she would make just over $130,000 a year. It is an impressive amount, and some people might even feel cheated, but as much as I would love to earn that much, nothing could replace the payment I receive now: an unlimited supply of hugs and kisses.

I thought a lot about that today, mostly because my youngest sister told me that she was going back to work. Her baby is 5 months old, and I know the feeling of not wanting to put your baby in daycare. I can’t complain too much about daycares though, as I do not have the experience to do so. I just know that I am extremely lucky to be able to stay home with my child, even though there are a few exceptionally tiresome days here and there.

So now, my Sunday will be spent putting in a little overtime with my son. Maybe I will rent Chicken Little and grab some Twizzlers.
