looking forward to the weekend.

 

[Hilary]

so much

 

[Mendalla]

Last as my son plunges into exams.

 

[Tabitha]

last as high school exams here are finished.

 

[BethAnne]

It's Hilary!!!

Niece has a throat infection so was quiet and snuggly today.

I'm a busy man.

No offense, but I'm a bit tired of that statement. Every time I ask someone at work how they are, I get the "busy spiel". Most of the time I don't have the heart to ask them if they're actually accomplishing anything useful.

LAST with that bit of unpleasantness temporarily out of my system. It is Friday, there is wine...

 

[BethAnne]

I've found in many work settings, "busy" usually means doing something that doesn't need done to avoid doing what needs to be done.

 

[BetteTheRed]

That is particularly true of administrative staff.

 

[BethAnne]

And some lower on the rungs too.

 

[Graeme Decarie]

I'm a very busy man. And a productive one. As you can see above, women can't understand that.

 

[BethAnne]

How productive?

 

[Graeme Decarie]

See? They don't even know what it means.

 

[BethAnne]

I don't believe you were productive...provide examples.

 

[Graeme Decarie]

There was a time when women were happy in the kitchen, and humbly grateful to the man who provided them with one.
A woman's productive work is to cook, say, ribs for her provider. He doesn't ask for her recipe because cooking is not his role. Similarly, a woman should not ask of a man questions whose answers are above her.

 

[BethAnne]

Anyone else think that Graeme would make a great politician?

 

[Graeme Decarie]

oh, I do. Trump and I could make this world hum.

 

[BethAnne]

LAST

 

[Graeme Decarie]

LAST - a wonderful word admitting defeat. Now, I must trundle off to bed to read somerset Maugham on my Kobo while drinking myself into a stupor with diet gingerale.

 

[You just never know]

I'm not busy at all, but I am last.
