A pause...So, uhh, this is Dean. I'm calling everyone at the same time so I can say it once without screwing it up. Sorry for the voicemail thing. I had a friend show me how to go direct to the box. Here's hoping you all
check your voicemail.
Dead air for twenty seconds followed by an exasperated sigh.I own the shop.
That's the gist of it.
A family friend---I need to be able to take care of my family. Me and Claire got a baby on the way. I've been managing the place since my old man was around. It's a good thing. Don't panic. I promise I won't run us out of business just because my name's on the deed now. I been running Rainbow Motors Repair without getting the credit. I didn't want to say anything until the ink was dry on the paper.
That happened today.
It's official.
What I need from you guys is to text me what hours you want to work and I'll try to work on scheduling, okay?
It's my show now. Officially. That means I get all the leeway I never had before to try to make your lives easier. Darling is working four tens and taking every other weekend for small motors. I need a guaranteed guy for general motors to cover me every other weekend. I'll still pull my weight. I just---I gotta be home at a decent hour now. I have people counting on me. I hope no one quits on me.
Thanks. You're great guys.
Really.
Anyway. Text me.
