Later dufes. My big mouth got me into trouble. There's an old woman who is a "friend of a friend" and she recently lost her husband to cancer. Come to find out she's German and her husband married her over there, then moved her to the States many years ago. Well, it seems, he never let her drive and she's never driven or had a driver's license. Now she's pretty much stranded at home with no way to get around. My friend is a nurse at the doctor's office she goes to and she has an appointment today. Sooo, being the nice guy that I am, I've volunteered to pick her up, take her to the doctor, wait until her appointment is finished, take her to the grocery store, then back home again. How do I get myself into these things?
What makes it tough is she wants to pay me. Number one, I feel guilty charging an old lady money for just being nice and helpful. I have all the time in the world on my hands anyway, so it's no great loss. On the otherhand, the price of gas is through the roof and I'm in no position to throw money away myownfineself ... but I just feel guilty taking her money. I guess I shouldn't ... I've never even met her (yet), simply talked on the phone. But still ... how am I supposed to figure what to "charge" her? Sometimes it sucks being a "nice guy".
Oh well, I'm gonna shower and get ready to play taxi driver today. Catch youse dufes later.
