***I always like a good comeback story like in the Rocky movies (I can hear the rocky theme song playing in my head now).  Today’s Friday Email is all about “Comebacks.” Have a great weekend!***  

We all have struggles sometimes and need to make a triumphant comeback.  Why are bowling floors so slippery? Do they want you to fall and not to come back?  I had 2 iced coffees in the kitchen, and someone said you have 2.  My comeback response was that it’s Monday at Savin.  You’re lucky, I do not have 3. I’m off on PTO and get an email with a problem.  I instantly forward it to Moise.  He calls me and goes on a rant you sit at home sending me problems.  Correction I sent them from my phone when I wasn’t home.  I came back to a dead bug on my desk.  If you are going to kill a bug for me Moise you could at least remove the body.  I got a voicemail in Spanish.  Unfortunately, due to my high school Spanish teacher who spoke in English 90% of the time I am deficient in Spanish.  As I walk in Junior said to me, I’m proud and I’m thinking I’ve been waiting years to hear this from him.  But then he goes on to tell me that he is proud of himself for something (for what I couldn’t tell you I tuned him out once I realized it wasn’t of me).  I informed Junior that Moise had arrived at work (a triumphant daily comeback).  He said what am I supposed to be happy about that?  Correction Junior, you should be ecstatic like I am. Junior said he wanted to make the coffee. He said he knows the right amount to put in and that I make it horribly.  I was walking towards the kitchen (not threatening to make it before he got there), but he came back running in front of me to make the coffee himself.  He was pretty serious.  I called Junior’s extension across the room and heard a sigh (and some not so nice comment) but his comeback answering the phone was “This is Junior speaking.” I said I heard you, Junior.   Moise said he has a problem.  We got a credit on an account. I said that is not a problem, it’s a good thing.  He puts his head down and shakes his head.  He says can you listen to the problem first?  Nah, I’d rather have a comeback comment to frustrate you instead.  Joshua takes my nose in his hand and puts it on his face.  Trust me, you don’t want this nose. Abby wants money to let people walk upstairs in her home. She’s like a human toll booth with her arms outstretched, not letting anyone pass by. I showed Abby my pockets are empty.  I don’t have any change. She says where is your wallet (I guess she wants bills not coins). One thing I miss about being a kid is that as you lose your baby teeth the tooth fairy comes and delivers some big $.  Joshua showed me his baby teeth that came out, and Abby had to come back and tell me how Joshua got money from the tooth fairy.  Now Abby is jealous and wants to lose teeth so the tooth fairy will give her money (She wants the tooth fairy to make a comeback to her home).  Well knowing Moise I don’t think you’re getting $20 bills Abby so maybe hold on to those teeth as long as you can.  Joshua starts examining my teeth as if he is offering to pull some out, so I get money from the tooth fairy. Hey, I need these.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, you can always make a comeback from doing it too late last week.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you need some extra cash just lose a few teeth and the tooth fairy will supply the funds!

Have a great weekend!
