Good morning everyone. Finally we had rain but unfortunately it didn't last to long. Yesterday my neighbor Ron & I cleaned up ( he did the most of the cleaning ) my Camero. When we were finished the BumbleBee was beautiful. Shining in the sun before it rained. Of course I put the Camero in the garage. I never thought my car could look so good. Ron knows how to do it.
Later we went to Al & Meilin's to have a BBQ with his daughter & boyfriend, and a couple other friends of Al's. WE had such a great time.
My insurance guy Tim lost his entire home and everything in it. At around 4 in the morning his home lit up in flames. Luckily, the family were able to get out of the place but they lost everything.
Today Dan, Tony & I are going out for lunch. These two are my wonderful cousins.

The Boss
One day a man goes to a pet shop to buy a parrot. The assistant takes the man to the parrot section and asks the man to choose one. The man asks, ''How much is the yellow one?''
The assistant says, ''$2000.'' The man is shocked and asks the assistant why it's so expensive. The assistant explains, ''This parrot is a very special one. He knows typewriting and can type really fast.''
''What about the green one?'' the man asks.
The assistant says, ''He costs $5000 because he knows typewriting and can answer incoming telephone calls and takes notes.''
''What about the red one?'' the man asks.
The assistant says, ''That one's $10,000.''
The man says, ''What does HE do?''
The assistant says, ''I don't know, but the other two call him boss.''
In this time of cutbacks and austerity budgets, it seems there are downsizing announcements every night on the news. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen like in this boss joke:
Boss: “Experts say humour in the workplace relieves tension in this time of downsizing. So….. Knock Knock.”
Employee: “Who’s there?”
Boss: “Not you anymore!”
Ever have a boss that feeds off of authority? Today’s joke showcases one such boss:
A female manager of a large office noticed a new male employee and told him to come into her office.
“What is your name?” she asked the new guy.
“John,” the new guy replied.
She scowled, “Look… I don’t know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only … Smith, Jones, Baker … That’s why I am to be only referred to as Mrs. Robertson. Now that we’ve got that straight, what is your last name?”
The new guy sighed, “Darling. My name is John Darling.”
The boss was complaining the other day that he wasn’t getting any respect from his staff.
The next day, he brought a small sign to work that stated, “I’m the Boss!” He then taped it to his office door.
Later when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said, “Your wife called. She wants her sign back!”
An employee called his boss one morning to say he was calling in sick.
The boss replied, “Whenever I feel sick, I just have sex with my wife. That always makes me feel better. You should try it.”
The employee said, “Okay. I’ll give it a try.”
A while later the employee called his boss back. He said happily, “You’re right! It worked! I feel much better! By the way, you have a really nice house.”

I'm glad you got some rain and that your Camero is nice and clean again.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your insurance guy losing his home. I'm just glad they are okay.
Loved all the jokes. I so remember the good bosses and I remember the bad ones too.
Have a fabulous day Paul. ☺
Such fun jokes, and since i'm my own boss, i can laugh about both sides of the coin.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad about Mr. Tim and his family. No one is ever prepared to have that happen.
Hope you get some rain again soon, but not on the Camero!
That is awful about your insurance friend losing everything, one good thing is they all got out OK. I can't even begin to imagine what him and his family are going through right now.
