Tim, you do know that de Vinci spent much of his life in poverty and that much of his genius wasn't realized until after his death, don't you? So I'm perfectly Ok with not getting the recognition I deserve at the moment. However, it's very likely that I'll be hitting it big like Ron Popeal very soon. Your right though. I could probably make a boatload of money if I went back to selling grains out of my trunk, but that wouldn't be pursuing a pipe dream would it?
You'll have to forgive me if I hold myself to a high standard, Tim. Wicker was my life. My life is in ashes. Ashes to ashes, man. Move on with it. Make something new for life. Create. Invent. Take notes, Tim:
Davinci believed that no man ought not be governed by aristocracy and that you should sleep for thirty minutes, wake up for 2 hours, then repeat that cycle all day. My point is that a lot of his ideas were hairbrained and I just want you to be always thinking about what choices your making. You are a great man and enterpreneur and I love seeing you back on your feet now. If the microwave thing works out, then great. If not, go down to Barteys, pick up a sac of barley and get your ass back out on the street. Nobody knows the intracicies of grains like you do and I am so proud of you for rising out of this wicker disaster. Your like a modern day Johnny Appleseed man, canvasing the countryside and giving grains to folks who wanna make there own bread. There was a spirit in the old colonial days of this great nation and I think your bringin it back man.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am in a good mood today, but let me tell you something that puts me in a bad mood. You posting pornography on our site. The last think I need to see when I get on here in the morning is a sickening picture of a man with eight arms and legs and a minature penus.
Burt I am at work today for the first time in quite a while. If I wasn't so resourseful durig my down period I'd probably be dead.
ReplyDeleteWe need to do an analysis of this site to see how safe it is and how truly protected we are from a cyber attack. I plan on spending the majority of my day on here everyday and I will not put my company at risk. We may need to look into some kind of secure log-on procedures to verify who we both are because I frankly don't trust the security on this site right now. It's also embarasing for me to be on here and for eveyone to see the picture of the naked male that you posted and then for me to have to try and explain that to these folks already thinking I'm some kind of pervert on his very first day on the job. I have already been reprimanded by the manager for pornography and I haven't been here 3 hours yet. I did explain to them that this is the first Porno you have posted on the site and that there won't be a second. My manager might call you.
And now I have been reprimanded a 2nd time for having the site up while I am reading a training manual. A customer has complained to the manager after she caught a glimpse of the male while I was checking on the site. It is starting to get a little bit awkward here and the manager is waving at me again to come into his office, so I will check back in a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to know that I have a 30 lb sack of lemongrass in my trunk today Tim. I'm going to canvas the neighborhoods today. Now you might think that I've bowed down in defeat but you are dead wrong. Is there a better way to spread the word about a new product-invention than hitting the pavement with a bag of grain and selling it to people while you tell them about your new invention because if there is I want to know about it but I really don't think there is. Every great artist needs his or her patron, and I will have mine as well--probably that old woman with the gnome in her yard.
ReplyDeleteTim, are you crazy? Do you realize that everytime you type the word "pornography" on this blog you are welcoming a cyber attack? Pornography is not somehtingn you should be reading at work or at home for that matter, and if your coworkers have a problem with de Vinci then maybe they should go down to the art museum in Ames and expose themselves to the art. The beautiful wonder that is art. I first exposed myself to art at the Met in Boston, I think. There was a class of 4th or 5th graders there on a field trip and they witnessed me exposing myself to the art. I guess I got a little too caught up by the beauty because I had to be escorted out. Art does funny things to people.
I would like to talk to your manger, Tim. He sounds nice.
Burt, imagining you walking door to door with that old familiar cup of grains brigs a smile to my face. This will be an interesting teat for you because I'm not sure how many grain eaters will have a use for a microwave. Some of these folks you sell to have been eating grains for centuries and their is no reason to microwave them unless you are making some sort of baked grains dish. Today I will spend my afternoon creating a demographic report for you about grain consumption versus microwave use. I think you will be disappointed in the results and then finally we will have the ammunition I need to put this microwave nonsense to death.
ReplyDeleteMy manager is starting to piss me off because I am starting to think that this job isn't going to expose me to the cultural and social media that I desire. I am going to give him a few days to figure out my routine before I start retaliating, but let's just say today has not gone as I planned.
