Oh Boy--

The other day I went to a Zumba class. At the front of the room we had a little munchkin/gremlin doing jumping jacks while we all did our latin moves. She did this the entire class. These moves were not your traditional jacks- they were JUMPING (off the ground at least 2 feet) jacks. I kept tripping from the distraction and I tried not to give eye contact.

I conducted some interviews for my job yesterday and I felt like an American Idol judge. I tried so very hard to keep a straight face when the poor dear told me about the animal abuse going on at her prior job, and her choice to leave because of it. Nobody fed the animals. She fed them and cleaned their cages when she was working, but that was only a couple times a week. This behavior by her co-workers was CLEARLY abuse and led to her choice of termination. After this story she told me she wanted a job that made a difference in the world. (Like a receptionist job)
I was proud of myself for keeping somewhat of a straight face and not losing it as she told me this story.

What a wonderful and entertaining world--

you can't even imagine what a difference receptionists make in this world. they answer calls, fetch coffee, yell at innocent pregnant women who just want to schedule an appointment . . . such a difference. what would we do without them.

ok so i have tried to do one of those latin dance classes and i think you need to leave the munchkin alone, cause not all of us can dance. so we just throw some random kicks in there i know how this little gremlin feels. i do like your blog though. my favorite was the airport people.

I just want to post this disclaimer that I love the gremlin. I've talked to her and she is a sweet spirit. She just is distracting in the Zumba class. She has so much energy
