Butter You Up

***When you’re baking you often need to use butter but in life to get something we want we often will butter up people. Today’s Friday Email is all about “Butter You Up.” Have a great weekend!***

Sometimes people will try to “Butter You Up” when they want something.  Junior said to me come here and as I was, he said no don’t come here.  Were you just trying to butter me up Junior and make me think you like me by telling me to come over to you?  I got a sales call, and the guy asks me “Do you remember me from 8 months ago?” I said oh sure you sound so familiar.  Really, he says?  Well, if you couldn’t sense my sarcasm about it just take it as I was simply buttering you up to make you feel special.  I like when Moise gives me a warning.  No, No, No don’t laugh or don’t play like that.  He’s not buttering me up by saying that obviously, but he is just giving me reason to laugh at his warning.  Moise said that the second month of the year is April.  Uh maybe if you say every other month, it’s the 2nd.  Moise needs to brush up (not butter up) his calendar skills.  Moise asked me to heat up his food for 4 minutes.  That sounds like too much time Moise.  What if the microwave blows up?  He says it’s your problem.  Moise was asking me something that is a question you would ask a child.  Moise do you think I’m a child?  He had a long pause…and said well that’s the question I’ve been asking myself for a long time (I guess he’s not buttering me up and saying I’m more mature than kids are).  Junior was trying to figure something out and the way he was going about it claimed that he’s thinking like Moise thinks now.  Umm are you buttering Moise up for being a wise man?  Is that a good thing or bad thing?  Moise said Junior is simply implying criticism of him.  Moise usually drinks coffee out of the pot but never (ever) makes it himself.  He tries to make it (by using the amazing skill of pressing the power button after putting grinds into the filter).  5 seconds later he says it’s not done yet.  Uh Moise it’s not that fast.  Are you trying to butter up the coffee maker thinking it’s a super duper blazing fast special coffee maker?  He put double the coffee you’re supposed to put and says don’t put this in the Friday Email (that’s code for I know you will put this in the Friday Email).  Junior’s week didn’t start off good when he saw his naturally buttered croissant with extra butter on it (like someone dumped a container of it on it).  Junior it looks like you’re still eating a lot of butter in that croissant.  He showed me how much he took off.  Wow.  It looks like a butter sandwich.  Maybe you need to get a second (or third) croissant to spread around all that butter on Junior.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet just remember I’m not going to butter you up to get you to do it but simply ask you nicely to please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you are handed what is believed to be a croissant (but you can only see butter) just give your extra butter to Junior and he’ll be more than happy to take it from you.

Have a great weekend!

Implications

***Sometimes I wonder what Junior’s implications are about me the way he looks at me and shakes his head. Today’s Friday Email is all about “Implications.” Have a great weekend!***

Everything you do or say can have some sort of implications.  Sometimes you ask someone how they’re doing, and they say good but they’re not really good.  Other times you ask someone how they’re doing, and they don’t answer.  Maybe that implies “not good so not going to lie to you and say good.”  Moise wasn’t happy, I was laughing at him trying to solve a problem.  He said you think everything is laughable.  I laughed as soon as he said that.  He says, “You, see?”  What are you implying about me Moise?  I almost always sleep well but one night recently I didn’t.  Damian jumped on me the second the alarm went off yet usually he’s snoring while I’m getting up trying to get started.  I guess Damian knew I didn’t sleep well and was implying that I needed some “assistance” getting up.  Moise was trying to sneak out of his house with me without Joshua noticing.  I said who goes first?  He says he will.  He does and then says oops I forgot my wallet.  I’m not going to make any implications Moise but you are a terrible escape artist.  When driving and I honk at someone for not knowing how to drive and they don’t honk back I take it as they admit (and are implying) that they know they’re wrong.  Junior was saying he can’t believe he doesn’t know a certain fact.  He starts googling and realizes he did know it.  See Junior you are wiser than you were implying.  Junior forgot something I had told him a day earlier.  He said are you sure you told me that?  I responded “100” implying that I’m 100% sure I did tell him already.  Junior said he needed Moise’s brain for something and then my brain also, but he said Moise’s brain works (is he implying that mine doesn’t?).  Moise said Junior says his brain is working only because Moise is standing right in front of him.  I made a sarcastic comment about Moise.  He said that is what you have a mouth for.  I said for what to talk smack (I figured that’s what he was implying).  He said yes. Moise was doing something at work for a client, and I looked at this list.  It had one by one you have to enter.  I said how far is this list (I was implying the list looked long).  He said don’t look down (and then I saw the arrow on the side of the screen showed to keep scrolling alllllll the way down.  It’s kind of like being on top of a tall building and being afraid of heights.  Don’t look down.  Moise told his nephew if he can count to 100,he will give him $100.  Moise was implying he wouldn’t be able to do it.  Once he got past “50” I saw sweat on Moise’s forehead building.  He knew he was in trouble.  He reached 100.  I said wow Moise you owe him $100.  He said he meant to count to 2100.  Yes, I’m implying Moise changed the rules in the middle of a game he lost.  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, I’m implying that you should do it on Friday.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember never underestimate the ability of a kid when you offer them money.

Have a great weekend!
