***Pennies are overlooked when you think about it.  People always say it’s “Just a penny” if they lose one.  You never hear oh I lost “just a quarter” if they lose one.  Today’s Friday Email is dedicated to pennies in “Penny For Your Thoughts.” Have a great weekend!***

Sometimes people will say they’d like to have a “Penny for your thoughts.” But would they really give you a penny for you to tell them what you’re thinking?  I found a quarter Junior dropped (that would be a lot of pennies…25 to be exact) and returned it to him because I may be a lot of things, but a thief is not one of them.  Random call.  I answer.  He says Janet.  I told him wrong #.  He said oh ok.  He says my name is…*click* didn’t give you a chance for a penny for your thoughts to sell me something.  Junior said he has money in his car he needs to get.  Then he says, “why am I telling you?”  You think I’m going to take the pennies from your car Junior?  Junior was stuck on a problem at work.  He asked me for a penny for my thoughts.  I gave him a few pennies of my thoughts (I don’t have too many pennies working in my head on a daily basis) and he said thanks.  I helped.  Then he said did I really help, or did he figure it out on his own?  You already thanked me Junior whether I helped or not is irrelevant.  He said I helped him a little that my brain gave him 10% power his brain did 90% of the work.  Junior’s brain is almost a dime and mine is a penny by that ratio.  I wrote down on my daily things to do list “Annoy Junior.”  I had to ask him if I could check that off.  He said yes.  Moise was doing something.  I have a faster way Moise.  Penny for my thoughts?  I told him my idea, and he said it’s a great idea and then not even 5 seconds later dismissed my idea.  I told Junior I finished something I was working on.  He said, “you want a cookie?”  Maybe I’d prefer a lot of pennies from you Junior instead of a cookie (unless it’s chocolate chip).  Moise said I’m looking at getting another car.  Why are you telling me?  He says you can donate.  I said “Pennies?” Junior calls me when I arrive in the parking lot at work. You’re going to interrupt my Disturbed song really?  I called him back.  What do you want?  Oh, I wanted you to stop and get me Dunkin (Dunkin costs a lot of pennies these days Junior).  Joshua was playing with my phone and almost called 911.  That phone call is going to get me in a lot of trouble (more than pennies) for a non-emergency.  Joshua tried to grab my eyebrow hair.  I guess he felt there was more available than on my head (pennies worth of hair).  I was saying something, and Junior was in disbelief at what I was saying so he said, “Do you hear yourself talk?” I do Junior and sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me (you don’t want a penny for my thoughts). I’m finishing up this Friday Email and decide to take a break so I take Damian to the park.  We meet a dog.  I asked what’s her name.  “Penny.” Not joking.  Very ironic.  Moise walks in “I have a problem.” Junior said, “Your life is a problem.” Well, Moise, you need more pennies with heads up for good luck.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet just remember I’m not offering you pennies to do your timesheet (I think I already offered money one-time years ago and that is the last time I ever will) but please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you find a penny on the ground and it’s heads up hand it to Moise for good luck.
Have a great weekend!
