***Some people may feel sad when the holidays end but just remember they will return someday.  Every time I leave from visiting Joshua and Abby, I always think of the next time I’ll return to see them ASAP.  Today’s Friday Email is all about “Returns.” Have a great weekend!***

With the holidays ending, many people may want to return the gifts they received if they don’t like them.  Junior’s been trying to return me for many years.  I have to write a classy note to someone for the holidays.  A classy note from a classy guy Junior.  He says yeah sure. My teams wasn’t working.  I was on a call with someone but couldn’t hear them.  Maybe I should return it?  Oh, I had it on mute.  Oops.  Last week one morning I was running and this big dog came charging right at me.  It made me want to turn around and return where I came from, but he followed me.  Fortunately, his bark was worse than his bite.  Moise said he finished 45% of this project we’re working on.  I laughed and said 45% that’s not good.  He asked how much I finished.  I said uh like 35%.  Ok, maybe 45% isn’t too bad, and I should return to finishing the project.  Moise said he’s trying to figure out how to say okay.  I like O…K. Don’t return to your keyboard after typing those 2 simple letters (just send it).  I see someone calling my cell with the name showing up as “CC”. Do I answer?  Who is CC?  The Yankees had a pitcher CC Sabathia.  Could it be him?  Maybe he’s a fan of the Friday Email?  Moise says don’t you remember CC who used to work for Savin?  CC?  Initials?  No, I don’t Moise.  I decided to answer.  It’s some lady asking for “Chimney Cleaning.” Ahh CC.  I should have known that it stands for Chimney Cleaning.  No, I don’t have time to return your call only immediately to hang up.  Moise was asking me something, and I gave him a “smart” answer.  He returns my smart answer by saying don’t try to sound smart.  I’m not trying Moise it just comes naturally.  Someone put “holiday code – 7.0” for the holiday party.  I said that it is incorrect, but they returned saying well it’s a holiday party so maybe it should go to holiday code.  I guess if you look at it that way!  I call someone Monday AM and they answer automatically with “oh I’m so sorry timesheet.” I returned their response with I can’t have a normal conversation with anyone on a Monday.  If I call, they know why.  Moise was asking me a yes or no question.  I answered yes.  He returns with asking again.  I said no.  He said no for real.  You didn’t like yes or no so what do you want me to answer “maybe”?  Junior says I have to leave on time today to make an appointment. Walking out swiftly and Moise calls him to return before he reaches the door with a “question.” Junior looks back at Moise not happy and Moise says oh I was just kidding.  Moise is waiting for a report to run that I’m running on my computer.  He says it should be finished.  I return with it’s not Moise.  5 seconds later he says it should be finished.  I return with it’s not Moise.  You play too much, he says.  I’m just being honest.  It’s running on my computer, and guess what?  It’s still not finished, Moise.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, just remember to return your timesheet with the hours filled in.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you want to frustrate Moise just let him know the report I was running for him is…still…not…finished.

Have a great weekend!
