But wait, there’s more!

chaos

Oh the madness.  It’s too frightening, dysfunctional, maybe even a bit entertaining to hear about this from my husband, B…  Oh my poor husband…  God clearly has reason for B working there probably because It takes a lot to rattle him and as you may recall, B is currently working for the Wannabe’s unorganized LED light company.  You might also recall that OSHA is now involved and that they will be at the Wannabe’s office Wednesday to review the Wannabe’s permits, certifications (of which they have none) and to also interview current employees to understand if OSHA’s operation requirements are being met.  The gentleman that was hired at the same time as B, quit today before noon as he’d had enough of the workplace insanity.  My husband emailed me all of this during his lunch and said that Rinda is running around like a chicken sans head and desperately trying to make it B’s responsibility to locate the nonexistent document(s) that the Wannabes failed to obtain when they started their business almost five years ago.  Remember, B was hired for sales.  Well it seems that they’ve NEVER had or been required to have any of the necessary insurances or licenses or permits that are required for operating a business.  Hmm, can you spell i-l-l-e-g-a-l?

I am guessing that after D suddenly quit this morning, everything will now fall to B and the unofficial employee/intern R to fix.  Unless the owners can go back in time, they are in deep doo-doo.  Coming from this company that knows only chaos and mismanagement,  God opened the door for B to accept a new position that will begin next week.  We are hoping and praying this will be the last and long-awaited position he must take before we move.

Bless D’s heart for sticking around as long as he did and I wish him the best.

Happy New Year, but don’t waste time with resolutions

As we kick-off 2015, many will make their annual list of resolutions that they will only achieve success in breaking.  So, congratulations.   For some, creating a resolution list is personal, familial, or it might be a communal, societal expectation that gives the resolver warm-fuzzies for consideration of the resolution.  For some that’s where it ends, but for others, they will hit the ground running and maintain their resolutions(s).  Why?  Because the resolute are committed to and intentional about being successful whether it’s for themselves or their family.  Why does the calendar have anything to do with making positive changes in one’s life?  Because for now it allows people to keep doing whatever they’re doing.  The term now is too much of a commitment for those who really don’t desire change.  What if people just make up their minds to begin making changes NOW instead of making the excuse to start making changes tomorrow, next week, next month  or next year?  Why not start now?  A calendar has nothing to do with anything and if it’s important, I’ll borrow the old Nike slogan and suggest, JUST DO IT.

just-do-it

Here is my list of things that I would like to see some become intentional about in 2015:

Learn the proper spelling of homonyms and learn to use proper punctuation before posting statuses and comments on social networks or blogs.

Stop posting relationship grievances on social networks and instead of depending on social network ‘friends‘ to provide advice, get professional help.

Stop saying,amazeballs, YOLO, I know right? and like before every like word in your like repertoire and get a word of the day calendar because a limited vocabulary is a clear sign of ignorance.

Protests – Nothing changes because of protests and riots are the stupid, drunk uncle of protests.  Both of these  behaviors are a pathetic excuse to make bad decisions.

Everyone is a winner is a problem because it is a false assessment.  Why?  Take a step back and observe cause and effect.  Because groups and schools awarded the population (MILLENIALS) with silly awards, many now perceive they’re entitled to things like cars and jobs, despite being unqualified.  Stop awarding  silly ribbons and trophies.  Imagine if all Olympic participants were entitled to receive awards – there would be no incentive to improve their skill.

Selfie-sticks are real. I see these on the Las Vegas Strip. Selfies are already narcissistic and now there is a device to encourage more of them.  I’m fairly certain this product is Satan’s handy work…

Being offended – Anymore, it seems that people are very easily offended by everything. Just stop! If you don’t like it then don’t support it and move-on because not everything is personal or about you.

I like New Year’s because for us that means we celebrated another anniversary yesterday and a new year is always   refreshing.  I don’t make New Year’s resolutions because I don’t need a particular day to motivate better choices.

What words or trends are annoying for you?

Back to watching football and Happy New Year!
