Awesome People Still Exist...

If you could have one super power for a day, a new one for each day of the month, what would you choose?
So, it was this plain old shipment day at my work, stuff to do in a short time.. yadda yadda...
As it went by I had about two hours left and I was helping this guy in our photo department. He is in marketing and about 65. He was building a showcase of this house he's trying to market for car collecters.. the house is worth over $10 Million!!! Anyways.. He liked so much on how I helped him with his photos that he told me about this project he'd like to do of his grand daughter who just turned 1 about not too long ago, and he had collected pictures over that time of her growing and wanted to make a timelapse for himself and his family. So I explained to him how we could do it but we would need internet for his laptop and my store just doesnt have it. But, it seemed like a sweet little project and I enjoy helping older people because they know how to fuckin show some appreciation. So, I told him that I could help him after I got off work and we could meet at a starbucks and I'd show him how to do his project like he wanted. So, I got off work and he even came back... two hours later and gave me a lift down there and as soon as we walk in, he's like.. "Order anything you want, money is no object here.." So I just ordered my favorite (Vente Green Tea Frappucino w/foam, and I work right next to a starbucks and my sister is a barista at a resort... I know a lil lingo) and I started up on his project. It took about an 1.45 hours and I finally got done. And to say his thanks... what does he do? He hands me four, $100 Bills. FOR LESS THEN TWO HOURS OF WORK?!? HUZZAHAHHAH!! Then! He tells me that if he sells this place that I helped him with his portfolio on it, that if I'm interested he would like me as an apprentice and would pay for my schooling in marketing! Lemme tell ya, Awesome People Still Exist...
Also, I got my new apartment, with cheaper rent, more room, and an awesome creek going through the property! I got my corner of the rent covered and two fifths of Absinthe for $80!! PARTYTIME!

But hey, we're thinking about moving out that way sometime in the not to far off future. Because Pittsburgh doesn't have a music scene.
