Thursday

Well today is the big day! Alice is turning in my resume to the company that she works for this morning. I'm applying for a position as an Administrative Assistant. This is my first real 'official' job application. I hope that I do hear from them. They sound like a great & stable company. The service that they provide is always in need.

Sean had a great day at school today. This evening was his first Nexus class, math. He has the same teacher, Mrs. Bearer that he had at the end of last year for Language Arts. He will be having her this year for both Language Arts & Math. The class is going to be a late one, we thought it was 5 to 6 but instead it is actually an hour later 6-7. Dean was here with him during class while I popped out for a couple of hours.

This evening I attended the Pyramid Concert at Manchester High School. The show was excellent. I particularly enjoy the Boys Show Choir and Capital Swing. They are a real treat to see perform. I was only able to get this one shot of Danielle while her group was performing. The lighting at the school is terrible for taking photos of anything on stage. I still haven't figured out how to take a good shot in there and it has been over four years of trying. I did get one really nice one of Danielle prior to the concert.

Management at its Best

A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.

On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business!

The new CEO walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked "How much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young fellow looked at him and replied, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?"

The CEO then handed the guy $1,200 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back."

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?"

From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Dominos."

Priest Twin

Our priest suddenly became ill and asked his twin brother, also a priest, to fill in for him and conduct a funeral Mass scheduled for that day. His brother, of course, agreed.

It was not until the brother was accompanying the casket down the aisle, however, that he realized that he had neglected to ask the sex of the deceased. This was information that he would need for his remarks during the service.

As he approached the first pew where the deceased's relatives were seated he nodded toward the casket and whispered to one woman, "Brother or sister?"

"Cousin," she replied.
