We went to Sea World last weekend and on the way down we stopped at a rest area. Some people really take to heart the term "rest" area. Poor guy must have been SO tired!
Here's a couple of pictures from Linda's camera that I like.
After the water ride!
um...me?

Tonight was trunk-or-treat at the church. Laura had a great idea for group costumes. We were rejected beauty queens (and king).

This post is not for the faint-of-heart. If you think I am an angel STOP READING. That's all I'm going to say about that.
Still there? Don't say I didn't warn you.
This semester I've been taking Business Communications and Marketing. I hate marketing most of all, but the other day we had a quiz in my communication class. Here is one of the questions:
Which of the following methods is appropriate for conflict resolution?
I only remember 2 of the options at the moment but that will do.
1. Assume responsibility for members' respect and behavior.
2. Lighten a tense moment with a compliment or humor.
well making a joke or a false compliment in the middle of a tense moment is just stupid, and it pisses people off.
or does it?
I selected #1...take responsibility, learn from it, move on. Apparently, I was WRONG!!!
Seriously, WHO uses humor in a tense business situation? WHO?! Someone who wants to a knuckle sandwich, that's who! I can see this tactic working among friends or family...but not in a business situation.
So I told my friend OJai and this is the conversation we had after I vented to her.
OJai: ooooo nice...but how will we get to LAX on tues? you will be at work?
Cimblog: Well, I'd be willing to do it...for you....ANYTHING
OJai: woooooooooooooooooooooooo! p.s. your hair looks really nice today.
Cimblog: Dammit, that just pisses me off you know! heeeee
OJai: hahahahaha. ok ok ok...a man walks into a bar...
Cimblog: Listen HERE!
Okay, so it's not exactly appropriate, but it suuuuuuuuure is FUNNY!
pfffftttt...thanks a lot communication class...you made me get a B on my quiz.
