I was just going through my notebook and the note I wrote to myself said "snake took a dump!" I'm sure it was a good story, but I can't remember what in the world I was writing about. I've got to get better at writing enough detail to remember the essence of a story. These were great little stories.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-8336967707675743262011-05-15T14:47:03.942-04:002011-05-15T14:47:03.942-04:00Ah, the public.... sigh....Ah, the public.... sigh....rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-56517201488484822712011-05-15T14:37:08.963-04:002011-05-15T14:37:08.963-04:00Great stories.Great stories.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-26714176167038917332011-05-15T14:10:50.096-04:002011-05-15T14:10:50.096-04:00Maybe the mean man is deaf.Maybe the mean man is deaf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-44318113626166723372011-05-15T10:30:45.447-04:002011-05-15T10:30:45.447-04:00A friend of mine worked for a financial consulting...A friend of mine worked for a financial consulting firm. She and her colleagues scratched through paperwork all day long, day after day ... a thoroughly boring job, as she complained to me many times. And yet, sometimes people did a sloppy job; other times people performed some kind of elegant analysis. Every once in a while when someone did a particularly good job, they got a comment on the report, something like, "Nice work" or "Good job." Big deal, said my friend sarcastically.<br /><br />The new boss came in. He saw that morale was kind of low. So next time someone did a good job, he got his whole department together -- I dunno, it was 15-20 people -- crammed into the person's office and ... gave the guy a standing ovation!<br /><br />Apparently the guy was both pleased, and embarrassed. And my friend first told this to me as though she thought it was stupid. But then one day SHE got the round of applause. After that she thought it was a great idea!<br /><br />Sounds silly ... but a tradition was born.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-73191862296487550512011-05-15T10:20:29.802-04:002011-05-15T10:20:29.802-04:00I had so much fun reading this I forgot how grumpy...I had so much fun reading this I forgot how grumpy I was about this rainy day !!<br /><br />Thanks for the smiles, June !Bibinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-52964352955568681012011-05-15T08:47:52.599-04:002011-05-15T08:47:52.599-04:00What an amazing life you have.
