***Joshua and Abby asked me last weekend where is Michael Myers. They wanted a repeat performance of me chasing them (and then them chasing me as him). Today’s Friday Email is all about “Repeats.” Have a great weekend!***
Sometimes you might feel like certain parts of your life are a repeat. Junior was walking into the office. I asked Moise what’s the first word he’ll say to us? Moise said it won’t be something good. He says gentlemen. Uh Junior, can you repeat that? You sure you got the right 2 people? I was eating while hanging over Junior’s cubicle talking to him with his back to me. He turns around and says “What are you doing?” Eating Junior, why is my chewing annoying you? He says yes. I proceed to repeatedly chew even louder. I went out on a cold day. Come back. It’s cold Moise I’d stay in if you can. He said you went out? Yes, I said. Moise asked if I came back. Well, I’m standing right in front of you so can you repeat that obvious question? Moise said if he had to show someone his bad side he could but then he said Well I don’t have a bad side. Hold up can you repeat that Moise? You mean all these years this has been your GOOD side? Who knew. Junior repeatedly was choking on his coffee. Went down the wrong pipe. I was standing there observing as Junior was choking. When he was done moments later he said you didn’t even try to save my life. I mean I was going to Junior…eventually. Junior talking with his hands to me venting about a random topic. He said do you get my point? Yes, I get it more when you repeatedly move your hands like that Junior. I told Junior age is just a mindset. Look at me Junior I’m like 12 in my mind. He says that’s offensive to a 12-year-old. Joshua took my Jets hat. Moise said you will never cheer wearing that. Abby said she wants a hat. I said I’ll get you one. What color do you want? She said pink, green, blue and yellow. All in one hat? That’d be some fashion statement. They took my jacket and ran away. Moise tries to help. I told him don’t worry everything is under control. Moise says ok I will leave then. Wait, I wasn’t serious. Come back Moise. I need help. Moise wanted the kids to read. They wanted to play with toys. I’m with them. 3 vs. 1 Moise you are outvoted. Junior was going out for lunch. He asked, Do you guys want anything? Me – I don’t have lunch. Maybe a slice of pizza. Moise – I do have lunch. Oh, so nothing, Moise says. No wait Junior I’ll take a slice anyway. Junior goes to pick it up. While he’s gone Moise is repeatedly fighting his own conscience. He says I feel bad I have lunch. I know Junior was wanting me to say No. Moise says what WE did was wrong. WE? I don’t have lunch Moise. Please do not group me with your moral issue (I have my own to deal with). Moise says text Junior not to get Moise a slice. Ok I go to text and suddenly Moise says you know what forget it let him pay for it. But I do feel bad, Moise says. Obviously not bad enough to still eat it? Junior returns. I’m writing this date down, he says. Moise said so am I because I am not sure when I will get this again. Junior buying pizza happens as often as a lunar eclipse (or as often as I buy it). Moise’s conscience was fighting, do I do the right thing or the free thing? In that case, Moise will always choose the free thing. Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, I repeatedly ask you every Friday to do it. Some do. Some don’t. Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you think Moise took advantage of that free lunch from Junior then you’re probably right (and you’d probably do the same as him).
Have a great weekend!
