A Raise for P. Niss

The Day the Penis asked for a Raise

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:


I do physical labor.

I work at great depths.

I plunge headfirst into everything I do.

I do not get weekends or public holidays off.

I work in a damp environment.

I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.

I work in high temperatures.

My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

Sincerely,
P. Niss


The Response:

Dear Penis:

After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:

You do not work 8 hours straight.

You fall asleep after brief work periods.

You do not always follow the orders of the management team.

You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.

You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.

You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.

You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.

You will retire well before you are 65.

You are unable to work double shifts.

You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed assigned task.

And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely,
V. Gina

Happy Monkey Pumpkin Monday



Continuing with the pumpkin theme...Happy Monkey Pumpkin Monday!!

Halloween is almost here. I have no candy. If I did I'd eat it. I buy little bags of pretzels in pumkin decorated little bags to give out. They're sealed and I'm sure the kids hate them! lol.....Too bad. At least they get something! And I save my waistline! ;-) if I have any left over.

Easy As A Sunday Morning







Sunday mornings are the best. I love how they feel. Everything is so quiet. I get to take my time, get the coffee going, go for a long walk, get the paper, do the crossword, read some blogs, make breakfast, take a leisurely shower, get dressed, go out, do whatever.


I noticed that the people that are "out" on Sundays are different than the ones that are "out" on Saturdays. Have you noticed this too? The Saturday people are rushed and rude but the Sunday people are easy going and sometimes even say Hi and smile. "Easy as a Sunday morning". That's why I prefer doing what I have to do on Sundays. It's easier!
What's your favorite day?


Hey, I want to thank CEO, Mike M, and Patti for their awards. I have every intention of putting them up here and passing them along. I just haven't gotten my act together to get all that together yet. But I assure you it will happen this week. I love you guys.

Peace/peace (one for yesterday, I forgot) must have been because it was Saturday and I was in a rush. ;-)

Flowers and Louis Vuitton



Desk flowers this week.

The Day the Office Smelled Like Pumpkin Spiced Coffee

Who would think to put a cup of pumpkin spiced coffee into a Louis Vuitton handbag and why????

Well, I'm not going to mention any names (Twinhead), but I was dragged 10 blocks yesterday at lunch just to get a cup of pumkin spiced coffee (not for me but for T.H.). I, like a good lil friend I am, went along for the walk. This was all after the grand premier of said bag at the office!

On the way back, we stopped to get sandwiches and salad to bring back to the office. While walking thru the farmers market by our office...T.H. stops and mumbles something, then opens her Louis Vuitton satchel bag to discover her pumpkin spice coffee is spilled and is occupying at least an inch of the bottom of her handbag! Ut oh! I tried to be sympathic, grabbing some plastic shopping bags from the farmers and helped her empty out the contents. Then wiped some dripping coffee off her jacket. Wasn't funny (hehe). Then I asked the million dollar question: "Why the f......did you put a cup of coffee in your handbag?" Actually I didn't really want to know the answer, because there isn't any logical answer to that question....(sorry T.H. ;-), but there really isn't ya know).

She spent the afternoon air drying the contents of her purse. The aroma of pumkin spice filled the air.

(Yes she will kill me for writing this story, but hey, what are friends for but to provide blog material?)

Dog Day

Five dogs we met in the park:






Five great quotes about dogs:


There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. ~Ben Williams

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. ~Samuel Butler, Notebooks, 1912

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why. ~Author Unknown

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. ~Author Unknown

The pug is living proof that God has a sense of humor. ~Margo Kaufman


Five of my favorite movies about Dogs:





101 Dalmations


What's you favorite dog movie?

Snot Dog


I have a dog attached to me. He never leaves my side. Yes my Snot dog is a Momma's boy. He has to have me in his vision at all times or he goes crazy. When he can't see me he hurries thru all the rooms looking for me. He won't eat unless I stand there with him. When I leave for work he gives me the most pathetic look and I'm sure he just sits by the door waiting for me to come home....sad isn't it? He's a great dog, mind you....he loves to play and run and catch balls in his little mouth and bring them back....he loves playing with the neighborhood dogs.....(the one next door humps his face. I must get a video of that.hehe). He's a great lil dog. I'm thinking of getting another one just to keep him company.....but then again, when I think that through...I may not. I wonder if a stuffed lil mutt would have the same effect? What do you think?

Should I get another dog?

Have You Ever Wondered.......



Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE


Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool? (My sentiments exactly)



If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?



There are three religious truths: a. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. b. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith. c. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters.



If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?



If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?



If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?



Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

(Thanks Phil)

Flowers for Me.



These are the flowers that are on my desk at work this week. I buy flowers for myself every Monday...

It makes me happy and provides the day with a little less stress. All I have to do is look at the colors of the week there in front of me and it takes my mind off a frustrating moment. They lift my spirits when I'm down. It's something I recommend for everyone. Buy yourself some flowers...bet it makes you feel better!

"Earth laughs in flowers." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Awards!!!!!!! :-)

Sweet Patti passed along this over the weekend:
"Quite simply it is those that have a generous and giving nature. Those who care about others. Those who have a kind word to say or a broad shoulder to lean on in the times that others need that. Those who display the "Spirit of Christmas". She's so sweet, loves Christmas and was even born in December!



Well, I think all my blogging buddies have a generous and giving nature and I'm glad they're in my life, if only in blogsville....so I'm going to pass this along to all of you. If you want to post it you can get the code here.


Nice Mike, suprised me with the following this past weekend.......I is hatched!!!! Sweet!

Joke Time


A man had a terrible golf problem, so he went to the club pro for some lessons.


Well, what should I do?", asked the man. "Hold the club gently," the pro replied, "just like you'd hold your wife's breast."


Taking the advice, he took a swing, and POW!, he hit the ball 250 yards straight up the fairway. The ecstatic man went back home telling his wife the good news about his lesson, and, the wife couldn't wait for her lesson.


The next day, the wife went for her lesson. The pro watched her swing and said, "No, no, no, you're gripping the club way too hard." "What can I do?" asked the wife.


"Hold the club gently, just like you'd hold your husband's member."

The wife listened carefully to the pro's advice, took a swing, and, THUMP! -- the ball skipped down the fairway about 15 feet.


"You know, that was a lot better than I expected," the pro said. "Now, take

the club out of your mouth, and, hold it in your hands....."
