Good Day, and as per the usual rules, the person interviewing me... The name will not be revealed.
Person: Josh, been a while...
Me: Yep, sure has.
Person: So how's work been going
Me: Getting slower as the time rolls along.
Person: You got a big week next week with Thanksgiving rolling in. You have a development of a week's worth of blogs coming up don't you?
Me: Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to writing about these things. We got another Sunday Sermon where we talk about Christ the King Sunday and the approach of Thanksgiving, America's 251st Thanksgiving and how we forget the meaning of it, another Question and Answer session with you...
Person: Oh yeah, that's the day I ask about you about Thanksgiving memories. The famed Thanksgiving of 1995..
Me: Yep.
Person: The infamous Thanksgiving of the New Millennium...
Me: Oh yeah that one... one of the worst.
Person: Oh and the first Thanksgiving with your NOW fiancee...
Me: Yep, one of the best!
Person: The quorum results preview.
Me: Sure do
Person: We also have a few others as well right on the week of blogs. Oh yes, that's also when you reveal the results of your quorum about Thanksgiving disillusionment.
Me: That's also the day I shut off Facebook for the day as well. I'm not going to be on Facebook at all that day.
Person: Next Friday, you also do your Reds and Blacks of Commerce talking about how bad Christmas has become over-commercialized and how the true meaning of Christmas just seems to have been quashed in favor of money and whiny children.
Me: Yep. It's definitely turned into an over-commercialized nightmare
Person: On Saturday, you talk about how despite Black Friday... and all it's misgivings... you say the storm never calms but you also promote small businesses.
Me: That's right. I also talk about the power of gift cards and why it's just more important to allow people to buy what they want.
Person: Then to conclude your long vacation, you write about the beginning of Advent. You'll be "blue-writing" for the period of time.
Me: That's right. Advent is definitely my favorite time of the year. We commence on the journey to our savior's birth. It's amazing how the nativity story reaches out to so many. I also go into some of the court cases that have ruined Christmas and why everyone needs to cut that crap out.
Person: Did you ever tell these guys about your new blog?
Me: Actually no I didn't. I totally forgot that was yesterday. But no problem, I'll talk about it today.
Person: Your time off is coming up REAL soon. You have nearly a month off from work. You really fixed up your leave nice so that you could just take a lot of time off.
Me: It's called maximizing your minimums. I had 76 hours to take in terms of my use or lose leave. I found 9 more because I knew I was going to be in class for a few days when I come back from leave.
Person: So tell me why do you have Peanuts character Marcie as your picture.
Me: Marcie is the one person from the Peanuts universe I can relate to. She's smart but sort of dimwitted at the same time. Sometimes I wonder if she really needs to dump Peppermint Patty as her best friend. I do think she likes Charlie Brown too.
Person: What are you most looking forward to in terms of being off for 4 days next week.
Me: Let's leave that to Wednesday's blog next week.
Person: Ok, I guess you're going to the gym today? There's no football though.
Me: Still have to. Gotta get in shape.
Person: Until next Wednesday.
