Time To Fill UP Your Tank
Sunday -- Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning 20 C, will be 31 later in the afternoon. Rain is on the way. It is 8.45, I am in my kitchen. My daughter from Kent called. She is looking for her another car. She was sharing her updates. My youngest daughter from Reading also joined and my son too. I am busy with making my breakfast and enjoying their chit chat.
You feel good to know that your kids are getting along. We don't have to make any effort to keep them connected. They are gone now, must be busy with their own family matters. My son is having breakfast. I am done, now having tea, sitting in the TV lounge.
Beautiful view of my back garden, I am enjoying that through the big glass in front. Brown Rabbit having his morning snacks. Pear tree on the left, not looking good. I think, now getting old. Not enough energy left, to tackle his day to day matters.
Beautiful wild flowers of so many colors, Yellow, Red, Purple and White, are scattered around, making the atmosphere great. White Butterfly talking to flowers, sharing her moments. My friend the Black Squirrel busy with his exercises on the wooden fence. Grass looking lush green, beautiful.
It is 10.15, I am now in my room, my computer is switched on. I can connect with the world around. To my friends and family too. This is a great feel. Feel of contentment. My window curtains not drawn. I can connect to the world outside, to enjoy, to watch what is going on at my front garden.
Magnolia tree looks fine, hale and hearty. Red wooden bench looking great on the green of my garden. I can't see any bird around. They must be getting ready for their beach party. Not much activity around in my neighborhood.
Sunday mornings are usually bit quiet. People must be in bed, in holiday mood. Weekends are, to slow down. Time to take stop overs, to fill up your energy tank, to carry out servicing of your mind and body. To get yourself prepared for the upcoming events of the week.

I lost the race to post the blog on our corporate notice boards. It was already posted when I got there. I did not see the weekend blogs though. There was also a box of fresh SDs with a note from SA.

I was in early today and posted the blog. I had problems with the printer so could not print the weekend blogs.
DeleteOf course the SDs were already there. Plus one additional donut for the poster

The printer problems are fixed now. I have posted the blogs from the weekend. They were the first items that were printed on the printer after it was fixed :-)

I am still so happy that SA has recovered. Its amazing that the first thing that he did upon return. We all honour Smile but his act, and specially the fact that it his first act, still brings tears to my eyes.

Dear Madam Smile, you so good. You write good to. I go Happy Worker and say her how you. She say I good but why you look sad. Did you have problem with Mr. Supervisor? I say no. Happy Worker say good but remember be careful what Madam tell you about Wicked Worker. She trick you. Look like she trick you again. I say no. Happy Worker say good then what problem? I say I sad because Madam daughter in Edmonton lose job. Happy Worker say yes it very sad. I say Madam help so many people, like she help Dear Me get job but may be her daughter not that good so she no able help her. Happy Worker say yes Smile help a lot people and she helped you get job back but it no mean that Madam daughter no good. I say then how possible that Madam daughter no able get job back. She has to go to her supervisor and say sorry and he will give job back. I think Happy Worker get head hurt so I go. I do 2 proud job but always read blog
ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteWe did not go for our walk in solidarity with your daughter in the city of Edmonton. The retired economist and retired human resources executive led teh reading of the blog . They said that losing employment is an unfortunate reality that employees in today’s economic environment go through. They said that the biggest thing that she can do is to keep her chin up and look forward to this as an opportunity.
The hindu temple people also came and the Hindu priest led the reading of a prayer for your daughter’s well being. The Hindu temple people were also planning to celebrate the selection of Ms. Kamila Harris as a VP candidate for the Democratic party but they postponed it in the light of this unfortunate news. The Indian diaspora is extremely pleased and they extended this congratulations to you also. We reminded them that religion is not to be discussed but they said that this is not to do with religion. It is a global issue. The retired priest is happy about the selection and so are others however the hijab lady is not. She didnt say anything but looked a little bit down
Thank you

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Garden today. As usual the reading was not well attended as there are holidays. There were only 200 people who came for the reading. Of course the Dean and Prof George were there. After the reading, they expressed their well wishes to your daughter in her job search.
The students are having an extremely challenging time with our parents. In one case, the parents only had quarter tank of gas in the car. We dont understand why they dont fill it up when half mark is reached. Do they expect us to fill gas? We dont have jobs so how can we do that? In another case, the parents are giving us a really hard time when it comes to paying tuition fees. In one case, the parent was informed 1 hour before the deadline that the fees is due and the dad gave that student a very hard time. He asked her to double check the due date. Thats so bizarre. What do they expect? Should we let them know a day in advance? Also he attempted to give her a long lecture - almost 2 mins. This is so stressful. We know that your grandkids ie the lucky guy and Master Golden dont have to worry about it. Its so lame.
Thank you
