Oh and Cally...
For some reason this made me think of you on a bad day.

For some reason her expression says to me that she's praying "What do I do next?"

I know I'm weird, I think that ponies pray....

I'm going to fill this with a cool story about my day.
Why? Because I can and there is no theme to this thread!

So I have a Thanksgiving wallpaper up on my computer at work.

My boss goes by and says "Hey! Halloween then Thanksgiving."

Then one of the guys comments "But they're already playing Christmas music at Wal-mart!"

Then my boss says "In my opinion you shouldn't be celebrating Christmas unless you go to church every Sunday."

He was physically standing in the one part of the office where he was sandwiched between two Baptists and a Jehovahs Witness.

So my Baptist co-worker says "Well you know some Christians don't celebrate Christmas because the Catholics stole the date it's celebrated on from the pagans to convert them."

My boss looks at him like...

"So what about the Jewish people?" I guess my boss thought Christmas and Hanukah were similar.

There was a 20 minute long discussion about why some Jewish people don't like Jesus and "Yes, Orthodox Jews still perform sacrifices."

It was epic!

What a way to be caught in the middle. your boss must have felt real tiny. hahahaha.

STORY TIME

Pecans in the Cemetery

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.

'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me' said one boy.. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, 'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me..'

He just knew what it was.. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along.

'Come here quick,' said the Boy, 'you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls.'

The man said, 'Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk.' When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the cemetery.

Standing by the fence they heard , 'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me.'

The old man whispered, 'Boy, you've been tellin' me the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord..'

Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything.. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord.

At last they heard, 'One for you, one for me.. That's all.... Now let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done..'

They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the kid on the bike.

Sorry, I was at work...

But don't worry in the last 10 minutes of the day my boss came up to me and was like...

So we have to send you home for two weeks and this is in no way a reflection of your work.

The other people being put on temp leave all have families and responsibilities. They were not so happy...

But of course being a single with few responsibilities I was all like...

So no worries, I'll post so much people will think I have no life...
Well, that's sort of true

But wait. where you happy? or??? I'm all confused.

No Ester, it's temp leave.

We get paid by unit. So if there is no work for the company there is no work for us. It's a little difficult for people who haven't done unit work to get used to pay wise....

If you're good at budgeting and understand that sometimes you're going to have a random vacation here and there it's fine.

I have 2 weeks off, it's unpaid...but I can collect unemployment during that time if I want.
