Bear with me--I'm still pretty torn up about Ron leaving. And he's going to Greenville!?!? Gah, that's just too far away.

The Memories--Rondoisms (First Week of Sept. 'o2)
Rondoisms
There's a guy at my place of work called Rondo--my boss. And one would describe him as a short tempered, hot headed, vulgar mouthed wacko who thinks feelings are for wusses. I'd have to agree, in a light hearted, comical sense. Great guy, he really is. And as odd as it is, he somehow manages to impart some life truth unconsciously. I wouldn't tell him that, though--he'd flat out disagree. So, starting tomorrow, I'll have some Rondoisms up here.

I swear it!
Mmm, normally, I'm all against swearing. Still trying to stay that way. But work was so horrid (no excuse, I know), that I was flinging D's, H's and the occasional S everywhere. One of my co-workers nearly spazzed.
C-W: GINNY! What's with your cussing?!?
Me: *starting out in bad temper, then turning meek* I...um, ah, oh......*blushing for being caught*
C-W: You don't normally cuss--why are you doing this?!?
Me: *very meek* ........because it makes me feel better.
Rondo: Now you see why I do it so much.

Rondoism
Ugh, I'm not putting one up today. Let's just say I managed to stomp on a previously unknown pet peeve...big time. Ouch. At least I still have my job. ^-^ Odd thing was, after he yelled at me pretty good, he sulked for the rest of the day. Odd......

The Card I Sent
"Thanks.
Thanks for being the 'difficult' manager.
Thanks for being blunt when needed.
Thanks for setting high standards and refusing to compromise on them.
Thanks for making genuine praise difficult to get--
--because we felt that much more pride when we earned it.
Thanks for understanding.
Thank you for being an incredible influence--I won't forget it.
Enough mush. ;)
Give 'em HELL wherever you go and may God bless you as you do.

*wipes eyes with back of her hand* I'm, uh...gonna go over here now...*sniffles and hugs her Rondo Plushie*
