A Random Act of Kindness

I have been driving on a doughnut for about 2 or 3 weeks because I had a bald tire that picked up a few nails and a tack. I would rather have gotten a new tire, but with how much we get sent home due to low call volume, I just couldn't. I made a comment yesterday to the guy I sit next to, who I have only been working with for a few months, about not being able to speed to work due to the gimpy tire. He asked if it was the same tire from a few weeks ago. I told him it was. Then we logged into our computers and started taking calls. I didn't really think much about the interaction we had just had. It was just idle chit chat. About an hour later he gives me a note that says if I give him the tire he would get it fixed for me the next day.  I was shocked! The last time I had a flat tire, I drove on the doughnut for about 2 months until people from church found out and took care of it for me. When I went on my last break, he followed me out to my van and took the tire out of my trunk. Tonight, during our break, he followed me out to my car again and put the tire back in the trunk. It was a totally different tire. He said it was a used tire that he got for only about $20, but I was shocked that he did that for me. He said that it was not a big deal, and that he would be a jerk if he didn't help me because I have 3 kids that ride in that van as well. It is a big deal to me. People don't usually do this kind of stuff for me. I am going to have to have someone help me change the tire still, but I can do that easier than I could get the tire. I am so glad that there are people out there that are willing to go out of their way to help.
