I look forward to having you on my journey in some way, shape or form. I trust that it will reveal itself fully in time. You are a gift and I thank you for being you."

INTERVIEW OF THE MOMENT

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human
Resources Director asked a young engineer fresh
out of MIT, "And what starting salary were
you looking for?"
The engineer replied confidently, "In the
neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on
the benefits package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you
say to a five-week vacation, 14 paid holidays,
full medical and dental, company matching your
retirement fund to 50% of your salary, and a
company car leased every two years, say, a red
Corvette?"
The young engineer sat up straight and
exclaimed, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
The interviewer smiled, "Yeah, but you
started it." |

How bad a mistake can you make on your resume? Here are some real-life examples:
"Education: Curses in liberal arts, curses in computer science, curses in accounting."
"Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain store."
"I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse."
"Don't take the comments of my former employer too seriously, they were unappreciative beggars and slave drivers."
"I procrastinate--especially when the task is unpleasant."

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday
night to finally meet, and have
dinner with her parents. Since this is such a
big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend
that after dinner, she would like to go out and
make love for the first time.
The boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex
before, so he takes a trip
to the pharmacist to get some condoms. He tells
the pharmacist it's his
first time, he wants to be careful and
responsible, so the pharmacist helps the boy for
about an hour.
He tells the boy everything there is to know
about condoms and sex.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how
many condoms he'd like
to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack.
The boy insists on the family pack because he
thinks he will be rather
busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's
parents house and meets his
girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for
you to meet my parents,
come on in!"
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner
table where the girl's
parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to
say grace and bows his
head.
A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in
prayer, with his head
down. 10 minutes pass, and still no movement
from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down,
the girlfriend leans over
and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea
you were this religious."
The red-faced boy lifts his head and mumbles, "I
had no idea your father was a pharmacist." |

"What we're really talking about is a
wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday
of the November when no one diets. I mean, why
else would they call it Thanksgiving?"

 Two women were walking along when a frog called
out to them and said: "Help me, ladies! I am a
stockbroker who, through an evil witch's curse,
has been transformed into a frog. If one of you
will kiss me, I'll be returned to my former
state!"
One woman grabbed the frog and stuffed him into
her purse. The other woman, aghast, screamed,
"Didn't you hear him? If you kiss him, he'll
turn into a stockbroker!"
The second woman smiled. "Sure, but these days a
talking frog is worth more than a stockbroker!" |

The chickens were distraught when the tornado
destroyed their home. Hopefully they will be
able to recoup. |

 Did we lift your spirits if even for a moment?
Know someone who could use a mood-booster? Wanna
make them smile too? Then go ahead and forward
this cheerful little Joy note to them! We have
an attitude of gratitude: thanks for spending a
few moments with us. Count Your Blessings this
holiday season...we are thankful for YOU! :)
Have a Happy Laughter-Filled Thanksgiving,
KC
