It's PAYDAY! Yippeeeee! highlight of my day! :) only because nothing else happened out of the ordinary today. that's my life!

I was watching an episode of Undercover Boss (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/undercover_boss/) and they had a guy that is working for 7-11 on night shift and he had such a good attitude. found this on the web...

"The last day of Undercover Boss finds Joe working with Igor on a delivery truck. What can I say about Igor? Basically, he’s my new favorite person on the planet. First, he tells Joe that he’s from Kazakhstan like Borat. Amazing. Secondly, he calls his truck his baby and says if his arms were longer he’d hug it. Fantastic. A healthy dose of truck love never hurt anyone. Thirdly, he has found the secret to marital bliss. He works nights and his wife works days so they only see each other two days a week. Brilliant. Igor is a friendly, upbeat guy who manages to make driving a delivery truck seem like the best job in the world. I’m strongly considering becoming a delivery truck driver after witnessing his enthusiasm."

He was talking about living the American Dream and how happy he was to be here in America and that we don't have a clue and take it all for granted. He came to the country with $50 in his pocket, etc...

He's right. We don't have a clue. This is all we know. Wish we could know what it is like. Of course, we all say that America is the best country in the world and we don't want to live anywhere else, but that's just because it's what we are taught. We really don't know what it is like elsewhere. I want to know how you work the night shift for 7-11 and are happy about it. I think we could all learn from Igor!!
