***Welcome Back to another Friday Email.  I know Junior is excited for it.  Who could blame him?  Today’s Friday Email is indeed all about “Welcome Back.” Have a great weekend!***

A lot of adults are returning to work, and kids are returning to school from summer vacations next week.  Many coworkers and parents may say welcome back.  But do they mean it?  I told Junior that Moise is back from his vacation and Junior didn’t say welcome back.  He said, “One additional headache for me.” Only one Junior?  I think you’re underestimating Moise.  I said Welcome Back to someone I hadn’t talked to in a while and asked them how their son is.  Their response was “He’s a wise guy.  He thinks he knows everything.” No wonder I like him.  Reminds me of myself a bit.  Some salespeople can’t take a hint that I’m ignoring them, so they sent me an email with the following as to how I feel about talking to them and how I feel like responding to them is in parentheses.  A.) Yes, I’m interested.  Let’s find time to chat! (I’d rather talk to Damian than you for sure).  B.) Interested but not the right time. Let’s connect in 30 days. (It will never be the right time.  Trust me.). C.) Not a priority at this time. (sounds like an ex-girlfriends complaint about me).  D.) I’m not the right person. (I can so relate to this…yes, I’m not the right person for you.  Go bother someone else).  Junior said he felt silly over something.  I told him I feel silly on a daily basis (and probably Fridays are worse after I say Welcome Back to everyone to another crazy Friday Email).  Junior was talking about his 3rd cousin.  3rd cousins don’t count as family Junior.  If you branch it out far enough, I think everyone is related in some way and we can all welcome back our ancestors as part of our one big extended family.  Junior asked me to put his food in the toaster.  Do not put the rubber cover on it will melt, he says.  Duh.  I put it in and just turn both knobs to the right.  I don’t know how this toaster works Junior just warning you…you may want to run back there in 5 minutes before it burns before welcoming back your food as charcoal.  I told Junior I can’t believe Moise is back, but he said Moise never takes his advice.  He asks for it, listens to Junior and then does the opposite.  I guess that’s why you didn’t get the nicest welcome back from Junior, Moise.  I told Junior I really like this dentist he got me years ago.  I just went for a welcome back, it’s your 6-month checkup.  Junior said look at all the good things I’ve done for you.  Like what Junior?  I got you a dentist.  I introduced you to Moise.  I have given you financial advice.  Well, the first 2 are true but the last one is basically Junior repeating everything this guy on Youtube he watches say.  Junior says what have you done for me?  I think this was a rhetorical question and I was welcoming back anything I could think of but the only thing I could come up with was bug the hell out of you.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet just remember your timesheet always welcomes you back on Fridays.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember hopefully I’ve done more to help you with your timesheet than I have apparently done to help Junior’s life according to him.

Have a great weekend!
