I’ll take the jaunty “attaboy” since I’m used to the lack of social interaction by now. It doesn’t bother me so much anymore. However, having to call Tim “Mr. Head Guy in Charge Who Can Fire Me At The Drop of a Hat” every time I address him does bother me.

JP: You can have one, but not both. I can’t handle the social interaction strain that would cause on my fragile system.

Yesterday’s 107 degrees did a number on my air conditioner — I’m working from home today waiting for Captain HVAC to pay a visit.

Can I have dibs on the jaunty “attaboy” since Gadfly doesn’t want it? Or can I at least start making eye contact with you when we pass in the hall?

Oh well. Offer’s still on the table.

Is that the best you can do? Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll pass.

Gadfly: Congrats. You do win. You have your choice of prize: a hearty handshake, a jaunty “attaboy” (or “attagirl”), an annotated–by a reader–copy of the story I wrote about money manager Ed Butowsky, or a framed copy of my hiring announcement that appeared in the Dallas Business Journal.

#1 First I read about a 14 year smuggling pot on FB.
Then I read about Slutty Chearleaders and Baggy Boys
on UFP. Now I find this video about a young boy showing total disrespect for decency on the Nature Channel

#2: Maybe I can win this contest. Since I’ve never won anything before, let me recount my weekend (Sunday) labors. I dismantled 2 stone walls in preparation for today’s street curb, sidewalk and driveway demo that UP has been doing in phases. Then I staked back all the English Ivy in the parkway. After rehydrating, I mowed my backyard with my manual reel mower and then edged with hand shears. After rehydrating again, I hand watered the cottage shade garden and all container plants. Came inside—showered, started a load of laundry, fed the dogs, and then sat down for a lean cuisine at 10:00. Do I win?
