Yeah?
How so? Well, social media, I guess.
One of them's getting married. Wow.
Congrats.
Thanks. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of the guy. Or. I don't know. Either way, it's gonna be great because we're helping people all day long. Don't forget that. That's what we do. We help people.

And when it gets hard, I like to sing.
Yeah?
Sing what?
This song right here called Notes. Wanna hear it?
Sure.
Long day on my feet I gotta take people's pain and make it sweet. Sun's down, the note comes out I gotta write it down from their head to their go. No notes, no more notes. I gotta get out of here while I still got hope. No notes, no more notes. I want to leave here soon so I don't lie alone. You mind if I give it a try?
Oh, my gosh. Totally. It helps when you sing it. It just starts to feel a little bit better.
What do you think we got?
You got it.
Well, get ready. We're going to start right now.
My hands bring relief and ease the pain Stretch and streng through the strain.
But when the sun goes down my street grows bright Trotting their promise all through the night I see no notes, no more notes I gotta get out of here while I still got home. No notes, no more notes I want to leave here soon so I don't die alone. No notes, no more notes I gotta get out of here while I still got home. No notes, no more notes I want to leave here soon so I don't die alone.
