Good Morning and how are you?... I am ok myself. Sort of still licking my wounds after being a bad boy last night. You know you would think I would not like the taste of my own foot… But apparently just ever so often I have to re-enter it into my mouth just to make sure I remember the taste of it. It all started out, I am thinking you want to hear this because I am telling you, but just sit tight and I do not need judging because I already was and made up for it but crow does not always taste good. Especially the foot version of it. So it all started out two nights ago. Mandy emailed me that she did not want her mother or I to be mad at her and she apologized, but she was caught cheating on a test and failed it. No problem… Apparently the test was in Spanish and it was her first year in Spanish and taking it in the 12th grade sucks, taking Spanish in any grade sucks… but as a senior to many things are going on, and Spanish is not one of them. Plus I have other issues on learning foreign languages in the latter years is just plain stupid.. but once again I bite my tongue. Ok I did not yell and just mentioned to Mandy hey, it could be worse. You did not call the teacher a wet-back and you did not flatten her tires or turn the car over on its roof in the teachers parking lot… I will plead the 5th on ever taking place on any of those events…..
So that set the stage… All was well in the Bell plantation. Actually a house but I wanted to feel like it was bigger, so hang in there I am getting to the frustration station of this letter. So Bonnie and I were ok with all this apparently it hit Bonnie worse then me, again I feel Spanish she be needed if you are taking a job where Spanish is the primary language spoken… Well you know like southern Florida where Cuban is the primary lang…ok sorry off again.. So Bonnie apparently was having a bad day at work and been having some bit of a problem with her superior in Payroll and to make a long story short she (Bonnie) had received an email from her superior about some type of procedure that has to be followed on sick time for BOSCH employees. Well Bonnie had already corresponded with Head Quarters in Illinois about this problem and new the correct way to handle it. Bonnies superior had the issue wrong and sent this email with wrong information to Bonnie to handle it. Bonnies reply to her was this, starting out this way.. “For Your Information”, and blah blah blah.. The blah, blah, blah was other pertinent information needless to you and me because we would not understand it in the first place but the error in my ways was I stopped her in her explanation of her blow up with her superior right after she told me she started the letter our “for you information”. And apparently her boss yelled across the room at Bonnie without replying in an email and said “ I Don’t Care I said Do it” ..”well.. yes that was rude of her”..I said “But,…. I would never start a letter out with for your information,…it puts that person on the defensive” Oh you would have thought I stepped in dog shit! Or I just called her best friend a whore. (trying to think did I on either….Nope) She clammed up and while I was fixing dinner the cabinets were being shut JUSTA lit’l bit harder and Mandy came down stairs and was wondering what had taking place and why mom was upset.. then Bonnie Broke down crying in Mandy’s arms.. Mandy looks at me with the look only I can describe as “ Dad what did you do, (don’t tell me now I am consoling mom, but be sure to tell me later look) and also the patented Bell One eye brow up and one down look… I said.. “Oh not important, I said too much already.” So after dinner I had to run down town because Mandy needed Lady fingers for a desert presentation in Spanish class and whilst I was there yes being the crow eater foot in mouth guy I am at times I picked up a card, an apology card which had a dog in a dog house and it read, Sometimes its lonely in this Doghouse I am sorry I do apologize please forgive me can I come back in…? I also added the part where I did not think I could stick my foot any further in my mouth but I learn something new everyday. So that was my night…Happy day eh? The right people went home on Idol last night.
It’s a brad new day and it’s a Friday Make the most of yours this weekend and may the weekend treat you as wonderful as you are to be treated..
A huge hug
Mart
