***Most calendars present Sunday as the 1st day of the week.  Moise said it himself, and the calendar agrees with him.  Then why is Saturday and Sunday called the week”end” Moise?  He said no the weekend is Friday and Saturday.  So why am I at work today sending this Friday Email out?  Today’s Friday Email is all about “Presentation.” Have a great weekend!***

We’ve all had to make a presentation before in school.  You go up in front of the class; pretend you know what you’re talking about and then sit down as fast as you can before any annoying student attempts to ask you a follow-up question (at least that’s how I did my presentations).  Junior saw me carrying 2 iced coffees.  I wasn’t trying to present one of them to him.  He said do you drink both?  I said I throw some of each out.  He said you are a weird kid.  Moise said good job being a kid.  Junior can I not present to you that I am an adult, not a kid?  Moise presented me with a problem he had.  He was stressing about it, and I was playing it off like it’s no big deal.  He said this will be my problem though because I will get blamed.  I said that’s exactly why I’m not stressed about it.  Moise asked me to check something he did for work and if I think it looks presentable.  I said do you really want to ask me about something being presentable?  Am I presentable?  My life is a mess.  He said you are worth more than you think (but the real question is am I worth more than Junior thinks).  I was presenting myself with the idea that nobody likes me one day recently.  This person doesn’t like me.  That person doesn’t like me.  Then I realized that Abby likes me.  Nothing else matters.  Junior was saying Moise over examines things.  He’s more annoying than anyone.  Congrats Moise, let’s present you with the most annoying person award.  He said he won proudly.  Moise said he must be somewhere at 6.  For fun I look up on MapQuest and tell Moise if you left right now, you’d be 13 minutes late and arrive at 6:13 and you haven’t even gotten up yet (so to be exact if you teleport yourself instantly from your desk to your car you’ll make it by 6:13).  I’m so helpful and encouraging with how I present things.  I check back to update Moise, and it says 6:25 now.  He said you’re not helping, don’t do that.  A minute later I checked and it says 6:26 now.  He sighs and finally gets up to leave.  I am good at motivating people.  I’m at Junior’s desk.  He is presenting his desk drawer open. Junior it’s a mess.  He simply shuts the drawer without saying a word.  I said that’s your solution.  He said yes.  Moise was at his desk saying, “I have to kill you.”  I’m thinking what did I do?  Should I call HR?  I get up and go to his desk behind me, and he has a big bug he’s battling.  Oh, the bug.  Joshua and Abby love the trampoline they got this summer.  Moise and I used it with them.  Abby was trash talking telling me I jump like a baby, so I jumped high to show off and then crashed and lay there for a minute while she thought it was funny (so much for sympathy).  Moise and I were sitting on the trampoline tired after 5 minutes.  Joshua and Abby kept saying keep going.  No, we’re old and we’re tired.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, just remember that I present to you a good reason to do it every single Friday (I won’t have to do to you what Moise did to that bug on Monday).  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you think you can outdo kids on a trampoline better than Moise and I could go ahead and try. 

Have a great weekend!
