I think it was my mother who said "It's easy to smile when times are good, the true challenge is to smile when they are not". This short thought has been making laps in my head since Saturday morning, it feels as if Murphy's law wants to make his existence noted.
Phone rings...

It's my older brother Jose, he's been driving my car for a week since his is in the shop needing some major repairs he can't afford at the moment.
Prognosis/Assessment.- I love my brother, but he needs to be slapped. Chances are the car is toast, he described smoke, weird sounds, it probably overheated so much it killed the hamsters inside the engine.
My actions.- None at the moment, considering driving it into the ocean, but no can do, it won't drive.
Let's check my outgoing shipments
I currently have seven product packages in route to Brazil, none of them have passed customs yet, so I call for the 600th time. After surfing through the automated system I love so much (sarcasm implied).
@phoneoperatorladyperson "No problem sir, please give me tracking numbers... "
@phoneoperatorladyslowperson "Ok, I'm showing they are in Brazil sir... is there anything else I can help you with?"
@phoneoperatorladyslowanduselessperson "I'm showing they were given to Brazil, you are going to have to call Brazil"
@phoneoperatorladyslowanduselesspersonfakenewsingme "Well Sir, you are going to have to take this up with them"

Prognosis/Assesment..- I feel hatred in my heart, and what's worse... I could be foookd.... It's impossible to deal with these people, it's painfully painful and it gives my headache a headache.
My Actions.- Tylenol and coffee, in no particular order... I must resume the phone battle soon, I don't want to, but I must.
Let me focus on cryptos then, I thought...

inner voice: "Ok, Ok... remember what mom taught you @meno remember... "
talking to myself: "Yes, Yes... Thank you me, I remember now... "

Siamo tutti bravi a ridere, giudico le persone per come si comportano quando tutto va a puttane, meanwhile don't forget to call Brazil bro
Ne hanno trovati 3, quindi questa è una buona notizia
Lets hope more good news start pouring in my friend
DAJE!!! LA SPERANZA E' SEMPRE L'ULTIMA A MORIRE

I feel ya brother, this has been one of those weeks for me as well, but we gotta keep on keeping on, there no other way hehe.
Hugs to ya!!! :)

Dude... I hear that. I don't know if it's just winter blues making everything seem worse or if life is just being an ass but you're not alone. Good luck with the car and oversea shit. I know it can't be easy.
tis kinda crazy... im thinking i should stay hidden under my desk, just to be safe!! ;p
In tandem with all the BS that's going on for you right now - your GIF's had me on the floor along with the comment... I love my brother, but he needs to be slapped."
If it helps any, though she's been gone for 20-years now, here's something that my mother always used to say:
"This too shall pass"
I trust that this past week and all the BS that's connected to it will eventually fall into line... Hang in there, brother and try not to bite too many heads off in the process! :-)
you are so right my friend... that's true wisdom right there..
Lol...this is what life is all about 😍
Haha, too much to remember too hard to forget.
