Don't leave the coffee pot empty!

So I'm running around like crazy at work, busier than ever. I need coffee to keep me going and it takes a lot. Unfortunately every time I run in the coffee room to get a cup someone has left me a burning, dirty, empty pot that smells. Finally, I left a note above the coffee maker, it said, "If you drink coffee and less than a cup remains, be NEIGHBORLY and make another pot." Unfortunately, it didn't work and my coffee frustrations continued.

Later that day I had a moment for a java refill and ran to get myself a fix in the little kitchen. Just as I entered, this little accountant pushes by me with a huge brimming cup of coffee. As I made my way to where the coffee was supposed to be an empty pot was left to taunt me. I grabbed that pot and went running after that little weasel. As I entered his office he sat there slurping this huge cup. Pointing at him with the hollow pot I proceeded to read him the riot act. "You little S.O.B.!!! So you think your time is so much more valuable than the rest of ours. I know your type... who do you think you are?!!!" He looked at me with a smile, put his feet on his desk while sipping that wonderful liquid that was supposed to me mine. He then calmly said, "You better put that back, I just made a pot." As I jogged into the coffee room I nearly slipped on the flooded floor. At that moment I realized that the empty pot I grabbed was just about to be filled with fresh coffee. The little weasel made some. Needless to say I couldn't convince him that weasel was really a good thing to be called.

I guess the moral is, "Look before you freak"

Well, that first post was a hit. Ease up people, we don't want to bring down the Blogger server.

So I said this would be a fun blog too. Here is a funny story:

My three year old daughter is hanging out in the dining room doing some crafting projects with my wife. Our 5lbs Yorkshire named Dexter decided to get his "bear" out from behind a chair. Dexter's "bear" is his only friend with benefits. wink wink Every now and then he needs to get his manly urges out, can't blame him. Keep in mind he is 8 years old. That is like 56 in human years! I hope when I am 56 I have as much spunk as him. I wonder if by then it will be as quick and painless for me as it looks for him. Anyway, he proceeds to enjoy a few high-paced minutes with his "bear".

After Dexter is finished, he does what all dogs do and proceeds to groom himself a little underneath. Remember my 3 year old daughter doing crafts? At this time she has noticed his peculiar behavior and shouts out, "Daddy, Dexter is wicking his pwibates!" I say, "Yes dear he is, that is what dogs do sometimes." Without hesitation I hear,"When I am all grown up, I am going to wick my pwibates!". I didn't know whether to laugh or wonder if we have a weird family. Believe me, this behavior is not modeled at our home. Trust me on this one.

I hope you found this story amusing. It will be great blackmail material for the future.

Here is one of my favorite blogs: www.mgoblog.com

The Alpha!

Well, here goes nothing...errr...I mean here goes everything.

The purpose of this blog is to not only market our product, but to contribute to the blogosphere as we go. We realize that we are taking a chance with this format. Just give us a glance and force yourself to look past the rad Shield logo on the right. I know a good advertising design guy. No really, I will be linking his email when I learn more about formatting this beast.

Like most bloggers, we want to do something different. While this style of social network marketing may seem odd, we think it will work for us. **if you just rolled your eyes that means you are still with me and it is working** We will NOT be plugging our product every post. In fact, we want to do just the opposite. We want to build relationships. We want to plug as many other useful products or people as possible.(see last two sentences of the first paragraph) We hope to build a network through some fun interaction via this blog. Make sense?

This may be painful in its infancy, but we will work hard to make it worth your time. We want to be honest from the get go. Personal stories to follow. Life experiences to follow. Lessons learned to follow. Great ideas to follow. Please join us.

We are always up for input. Please feel free to email with inquiries. Thanks
