***One morning last week I was driving to work and saw a sign saying a speed limit of 35MPH while I glanced at my speedometer which read 60MPH.  I guess I should take a hint at the local speed limits sometimes.  Today’s Friday Email is all about “Hints.” Have a great weekend!***

We all need to take a hint sometimes.  How obvious must someone be to get their point across (you know like some obnoxious email every Friday for years being sent out by an obnoxious person)?  I told Junior something.  He said ok.  Then I made an obnoxious comment under my breath.  Junior said what did you say?  Take a hint, Junior.  It wasn’t anything good.  Damian met a dog and wanted to say hi, but the owner told me that her dog is shy.  Damian didn’t take the hint and tried to play with her anyway.  Damian gave me hints last week.  I was getting ready for work, but he was acting weird.  He knows my routines.  I know his.  But he was acting like I wasn’t supposed to go to work.  He looked at me going to my car, which he never does.  He knows when I am leaving and coming back.  No big deal.  I sat in my car and got the call saying the power is out turn around and go home (that was easy since I literally was about to turn the key in my car to leave home).  Damian knew the power was out before I did, I guess.  These workers come into the office on the day the a/c isn’t working, and they said it’s not that hot in here.  Meanwhile, they look like they just took a bath from all the sweat on them from working outside.  I gave them a hint and said well when you’re outside in 95 degrees of heat you probably don’t think it’s bad here.  I didn’t see Moise for like a whole week.  Moise said he’s coming, and I said Junior and I can’t wait.  Junior didn’t respond to that so that’s a hint he can wait, I guess.  It felt like forever I said.  He said I missed you, so we went to get coffee.  Junior looked ill at the lovefest.  Moise and I were talking on the phone and got disconnected 5 times in 2 minutes.  I said it’s your phone.  He said it’s yours.  Maybe we should both take a hint, and both get a new phone.  I apologized to Moise because I was late to call him.  He said it’s okay, I’m always late.  I guess he takes a hint when I constantly get on him about being late.  I found someone more sarcastic than me and hinted that to Junior.  He couldn’t believe that was possible.  I told Moise that something was not a good idea.  I asked whose idea was this?  He says yours.  Oh, I should have taken the hint before asking that question.  Junior was saying he was going on a ladder to do something.  I don’t do ladders Junior.  I don’t like heights and even if someone is holding the ladder, I always thought someone would push it over on purpose.  Like take a hint, they’re mad at me.  Abby wanted to know my car’s name.  What’s she hinting at naming it the Abby mobile and claiming ownership of it?  Joshua was wearing his sunglasses and Abby hinted (by bluntly saying) she needed them for the sun.  I told her I already got you a pair for your birthday.  She says Joshua took them.  I guess that was Abby’s blunt hint for me to get her a new pair.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, just remember I may not hint at wanting you to do your timesheet (I’m blunter about it) because it’s important.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you’ve got an extra pair of sunglasses please send them to Abby so she can enjoy the summer sunshine

Have a great weekend!
