Is It Me??

Before I launch into this post, a bit of SFZ history is in order. I, Madd Dogg (see picture at left) joined the carpool a few years back. At that time, it was me, Sparky, Fidget and a fourth. Not too long after I joined the pool, the fourth left the carpool, ostensibly for greener, more prosperous, and no commute pastures. Our dear Mumbles then replaced that fourth.

Then Sparky decided to leave us, ostensibly to advance his career.

And today, it got worse. If I understood him correctly, Mumbles is leaving us too. Again for those greener, more prosperous, no commute pastures.

Yep, I know you're all thinking the same thing. Madd Dogg joins, and now we can't keep carpool members to save our sorry ass lives. I mean really, who leaves low paid, long commute jobs for something better paid and without the commute? Right, no one. So I think it's me. I can only hazard a guess as to what, precisely, it is about me that so offends but perhaps the picture says it all? Rider X has only been with us a few weeks, but I expect her resignation shortly.

And I know you're all thinking, "What about Fidget? He hasn't left." So true, so true. But that's because he and I made a pact that neither one of us can ever leave. We don't want to get paid more, we love the commute, and we feel oh so appreciated by the taxpayers.

Mumbles, I'm tired of saying goodbye to my carpoolers who, over the many, many hours we spend together, become dysfunctional family of sorts. But congrats on the new gig, and know that we'll miss you.
