***Junior was leaning against a car in the parking lot recently and then realized that wasn’t courteous, so he backed off the car but then said, “Oh it’s just Moise’s car” and went back to leaning against it.  Today’s Friday email is all about “Courtesy.” Have a great weekend!***

We all try to have common courtesy towards other people (unless we don’t like them).  This car in front of me was driving so slow it was annoying me.  It said, “Courteous Vehicle.”  If you were indeed a courteous vehicle, you’d drive faster before I speed around, you.  Moise was out and I put “Miss Moise” on my things to do list.  Junior didn’t have a courteous response to that.  I notice most people at Savin are courteous to me and say good morning.  But I always say what’s up instead.  My response isn’t so courteous I feel.  Abby was on the phone with me and told me she was going to press the red button.  That’s to hang up on me Abby (not very courteous) but I have been hung up on many times before by people.  I took Damian to the emergency room.  He got into a bag of cocoa powder and its toxic for dogs.  He’s there playing with the nurses.  Damian have some common courtesy, this is an emergency room not a playground.  The nurse tells me his heartbeat is 30 times in 15 seconds.  You must multiply it by 4, she says (to get the beats per minute 15 seconds x 4 = 60 seconds/1 minute).  Simple enough.  I said so basically 2 heart beats per second is ok.  She said no.  I said well 30 heart beats in 15 seconds would be 2 per second.  She said no.  Ok, I will be courteous and give up on the math lesson.  Moise was trying to put the key labeled B in the lock that says A and then wondered why it wouldn’t open.  Moise said well A and B are neighbors in the alphabet.  Moise was asking me for a template.  I said it’s my folder.  He says the Anthony folder.  My response was not so courteous to him “No, my uncle’s folder”.  Moise comes back from being off for a couple of days.  He was courteous and asked how Junior was.  I told him Junior was in a great mood because you weren’t here.  Moise is going to ask Junior a question.  I said Moise he’s going to get mad at that question.  Moise says that’s why I come here.  I took Damian to Moise’s house and Moise said if Damian does his business in his lawn, the daddy has to pick it up.  That’s only common courtesy Moise.  Moise was having me look at something he’s doing for work on his computer.  I told him this is annoying Moise.  He says you just keep talking.  My (not so courteous) plan was to annoy him enough, so he told me to go back to my desk.  It worked!  Junior called up a professional to put up a fence for him.  But he decided this is not a good deal.  Junior went the nonprofessional route and picked up a “friend” on a Saturday to help him (“friend” by Junior’s definition is someone who will help him for free and maybe Junior bought him a slice of pizza but unlikely).  Junior was all proud of it.  The fence looks good on a sunny day.  What about during a storm Junior?  He said he’s concerned about the deer knocking it over. If it’s as “sturdy” as I suspect I think a mosquito may knock it over Junior.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, just remember common courtesy is to do it on Friday.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you see a mosquito flying towards Junior’s fence, the odds in Vegas are 50/50 (at best) for Junior’s fence to survive that collision.

Have a great weekend!
