Fawlty Showers 2

Try

I got to work the next morning just in time to answer the first call.  The caller wanted to know if he could do his court-mandated rehab as a home-study course. 

I told him no, not at our facility. He wasn’t pleased.

I sucked. The rehab sucked. The police sucked. His lawyer sucked. The judge sucked.

Apparently, the Honda Motor Corporation sucked for not including a DUI checkpoint warning system in Civics.

He hung up. My mind wandered. I picked up DD the bunny and put him on my lap.

I laughed. “Maybe I do suck at some things,” I said. “But I try not to when it comes to the important stuff, like family, work, and sobriety.”

DD looked up at me, a question in his eyes.

“Oh, golf. I suck at golf. I golf almost as well as otters fly. Dancing, singing, and math – add those to the list.”

I stroked his back.

“But I really try hard not to suck at the important stuff, and that’s what matters most.”

 

Today I’ll try not to suck at anything important.
