Fresh Meat…….

May 25, 2012   Savoury   1 Comment

Isn’t it fun when a new person is introduced into the mix? We got a new girl in our office at work. She really came on about six weeks ago but you have to let them settle in a bit to be fair. For all “intensive purposes” I work for a company that is made up of personalities that keep life interesting to say the least. Those who are outside of our office are slowly catching the scent of fresh meat…
Our new girl hasn’t quite learned to decifer the voices of our frequent callers yet! I can promise they are assisting her in doing so rapidly. Until then a laugh a day keeps the doctor away… She has received a variety of different antics thus far. One caller in particular has the ability to manipulate his voice leaving her to believe she is taking calls from multiple people when in fact it is just him. He has asked to speak to people by names that do not belong to them. Leaving her confused and an office full of laughter when she asks how she can connect them. Today she happened to receive a call asking to purchase a do-hickey for a thing-a-ma-bob that can grind smoke (given our industry it could be legit). Very professionally she tried to assist him by asking different questions about the product. He remained firm on stating he was looking for pieces of the machine that allows you to grind smoke and create a real fine substance. Not allowing him to get the better of her she asked the name of such a machine again to no avail as he claims there isn’t one on it. Then she went ahead and let him know she was new and unfamilar with all of our lines. As she began to offer to find him a more knowledgable staff member he felt it was only fair to let her in on the prank. She took it in stride and only called him punk….

Have you ever tried or had others try to pull the wool over your eyes back when you were the fresh meat?

Would you let your daughter wear makeup?

May 12, 2012   Savoury   4 Comments

Lately I have noticed a growing phenominom of young girls and teens striving to look like twenty year olds. So I can’t help but ask….

Before thinking the worst of me. I want to say that I have no qualms with young girls playing dress up or attending sleepovers that that revolve around playing beauty parlor. I believe it is an aspect of life that is beneficial for them to experience through play. In such a way that can boost their esteem while providing an introduction to becoming a woman. Not to mention it can create priceless memories shared between a mother and daughter. This is not much different than a father and son shaving side by side (the child is using a play razor of course) in front of a bathroom mirror. It seems these timeless pieces of childhood have become distorted. These days you are more likely to see young girls wearing a full makeup mask and acrylic nails believing it to be the norm.
I have seen it time and time again and I wonder what has happened?
These are the thoughts that tend to haunt my mind when I think about my daughter wanting to wear makeup.

What would you consider to be an acceptable circumstance for your daughter to wear make up?

Wipers Shmipers…

May 09, 2012   Savoury   2 Comments

 

Have you ever noticed when your driving how bugs seem to become a bigger nuisance than usual…

I have found that due to poor navigational skills they tend to find their way towards my windshield! Could you guess where?

You know it right smack dab in my line of sight….especially the big ones. Man, and the worst of it is that no matter how many times you spray even the most promising industrial strength wiper solution or how long you run the wipers you will be left with a semi-cleared smug that taunts you!

Desperately needing a carwash,

Absence makes the heart grow fonder…

Would you consider this statement to be true?

I don’t know!! Could this really apply to everyone equally?

Playing the devil’s advocate I would say for those who are caught up in lives that keep them apart more than they realize… this statement would be true!

However if you are close and the life you lead has a naturally equal balance between time together and apart..then this would not hold true for you. Or would it?

What is the big difference between children of today and children of yesterday?

You remember when you were a child you’d go outside and play and not wear any type of protection when you rode your bike? How about when you would go outside and be gone all day and come home in the afternoon to eat dinner? What has changed so much in the last 30 years that we can no longer do that? Now if your 10 year old goes outside by there selves then there is a chance that cps will be called. To me I think that there’s just as much evil today as there was yesterday here. The only difference is the amount of media that is available at your fingertips. What are your comments on this? Do you believe as I do or are there other things working in the dark?

Let it rain!!

May 02, 2012   Savoury   No comments

Could there be any truth to the saying that washing your car is daring mother nature to make it rain?

I say we should ban together and wash our cars to see if we can bring on the much needed rain…….

A drought fearing,

What is going on with people’s mentality these days?

May 01, 2012   Savoury   No comments

 

Everyone knows or knows of at least one person who lives their life constantly in need of being saved…..

Don’t misunderstand me! I know that life can throw some mean curve balls that knock you down and take your breath away. My heart truly goes out to anyone who has ever had to endure such an experience. There is no question of respectability for people who end up in such situations.

What I struggle with are those who’s only method of living life entails piggybacking on someone else! No matter what opportunities exist before them, the amount of people who are working in their best interest, the multiple attempts of loved ones to organize new beginnings, or lack of stability regardless of the aid they receive.

You will find these are the type of people who get their wheels spinning managing to make a bit of noise, they make sure to leave a mark showing they were there, and stir up a lot of smoke all without gaining momentum that will actually move them forward.

I just can’t wrap my head around it?

THEN….if that scenario isn’t bad enough!  It usually goes without fail that in the end those who exist this way tend to bite the hand that feeds them. Which only leaves them in search of a new place to begin the process again.

Seriously WHY? Could someone tell me why they don’t want to end the insufferable pattern? How many bridges can you possibly burn before you run out? What does it take to get them to see the error of their ways?

A puzzled,

Savoury
