Well been a bit now and have had a few tire kickers, not much else though. Funniest thing has been that my coworkers that I have worked with for the past 6yrs all have come up to me, very concerned for my mental health and well-being.
Them: Are you ok Greg?
Me: Yeah?! Why, what's up?
Them: You're selling the Land Cruiser!! Are you sure you're ok?!
Me: Yeah.... well it is kinda that time. Not super hard trying to sell it but just kinda putting it out there. Probably will more actively try around the beginning of the year.
Them: No seriously... We know you love your truck. Are you sure you're ok???? Like you and <wife> are doing alright, right?? You're not having a mid-life crisis at 40 are you?!
Me: What?! No... we are fine, I am fine... Geez, Yes I love my truck. No, I don't WANT to sell it. But circumstances have changed. Trailer in the future, yada yada yada...
Them: Ok, just wanted to make sure.
Me: Thanks. I appreciate it. But I am good...
** coworker starts to walk away... gets a few feet then turns around and comes back **
Them: **gives me hug and whispers in my ear** If you're not ok, it's fine. If she <wife> is hurting you or something, you know you can talk with (us).
Seriously, I think I have had some variation of that conversation with at least 20 people I know in the last couple weeks. Love my work family, they are thicker than blood at times.
