***When you’re baking you often need to use butter but in life to get something we want we often will butter up people. Today’s Friday Email is all about “Butter You Up.” Have a great weekend!***

Sometimes people will try to “Butter You Up” when they want something.  Junior said to me come here and as I was, he said no don’t come here.  Were you just trying to butter me up Junior and make me think you like me by telling me to come over to you?  I got a sales call, and the guy asks me “Do you remember me from 8 months ago?” I said oh sure you sound so familiar.  Really, he says?  Well, if you couldn’t sense my sarcasm about it just take it as I was simply buttering you up to make you feel special.  I like when Moise gives me a warning.  No, No, No don’t laugh or don’t play like that.  He’s not buttering me up by saying that obviously, but he is just giving me reason to laugh at his warning.  Moise said that the second month of the year is April.  Uh maybe if you say every other month, it’s the 2nd.  Moise needs to brush up (not butter up) his calendar skills.  Moise asked me to heat up his food for 4 minutes.  That sounds like too much time Moise.  What if the microwave blows up?  He says it’s your problem.  Moise was asking me something that is a question you would ask a child.  Moise do you think I’m a child?  He had a long pause…and said well that’s the question I’ve been asking myself for a long time (I guess he’s not buttering me up and saying I’m more mature than kids are).  Junior was trying to figure something out and the way he was going about it claimed that he’s thinking like Moise thinks now.  Umm are you buttering Moise up for being a wise man?  Is that a good thing or bad thing?  Moise said Junior is simply implying criticism of him.  Moise usually drinks coffee out of the pot but never (ever) makes it himself.  He tries to make it (by using the amazing skill of pressing the power button after putting grinds into the filter).  5 seconds later he says it’s not done yet.  Uh Moise it’s not that fast.  Are you trying to butter up the coffee maker thinking it’s a super duper blazing fast special coffee maker?  He put double the coffee you’re supposed to put and says don’t put this in the Friday Email (that’s code for I know you will put this in the Friday Email).  Junior’s week didn’t start off good when he saw his naturally buttered croissant with extra butter on it (like someone dumped a container of it on it).  Junior it looks like you’re still eating a lot of butter in that croissant.  He showed me how much he took off.  Wow.  It looks like a butter sandwich.  Maybe you need to get a second (or third) croissant to spread around all that butter on Junior.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet just remember I’m not going to butter you up to get you to do it but simply ask you nicely to please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you are handed what is believed to be a croissant (but you can only see butter) just give your extra butter to Junior and he’ll be more than happy to take it from you.

Have a great weekend!
