Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

From day to day, I think about what might make a good post for the next day. On Thursday, I overheard a conversation that just screamed "FRIDAY's BLOG ENTRY, FRIDAY'S BLOG ENTRY."

There I was, busting my hump at work, searching the internet for cheap airfare tickets, and typing a text message to a certain blog crush. You know 'really busy' doing work related work.

Then trouble walks by.

I overhear a lady from our sales department talking to another coworker about 'how miserable she was for having to come to work today.' I actually really like said Sales Lady. She's good at what she does, very friendly, and a real sweetheart. She's also the top dog (not bitch) when it comes to the sales department, so she brings in some bigtime bucks. I heard her say how much her kids cried when she left home. I heard her say how she's not sure it's worth it anymore. I heard her say it's just too much to have to report to work everyday. OH. Did I mention Sales Lady is so good at what she does, she doesn't have to come to work like the rest of us schmucks for a regular 8 hour day. She averages about four. Not worth it??? The woman makes probably five times what I do. Sheesh.

Granted, I don't have children. I don't know what it's like to walk a mile in another woman's Pradas. I don't know what it's like to have two kids screaming that daddy's not home for four hours. But for the love of God, is making 6 figures plus working part time that difficult???

On a non-related note...I'm seeing all sorts of pictures this morning just perking up my day. Dirk's chest, Six's smiling face.

Woo hoo, it's Friday kids...the weekend is here...almost

Hope yours is everything you want it to be.

Smooches!

It's tough when kids guilt you about going to work, mine understand completely if I have to work a weekend and miss my visitation, but I can understand how it would eat at me if they didn't.

Have a great weekend!!

*HUGS*

That feeling you get when you looked at the pic of my chest wasn't a "perking up"...it was your breakfast coming up.

I'm with you on this one... as if you had to ask. Some folks just don't know how good they got it.

And I would love to walk a mile in anyone's Prada's... as long as they are a 6 1/2.

Six: Oh...my bad...well the picture I saw was adorable.

The Persian: Well there's a difference in having visitation ruined by work and having full custody and leaving them behind during the day with the nanny while you go play bored housewife. I do see your point sir.

Dirk: Don't be so hard on yourself...leave that for Bruce. Giggles. Besides, I'm still confused...you didn't like the 'sub' on your last date, but you were the 'sub' on this experience. Tee hee!

Galpal: Hurrah! Yes, I know how you feel. I did not know your petite frame and rockin' bod were matched with size 6.5 shoes. Even so, don't expect shoes for Christmas.

Let's not jump the gun ... I'm an expert gift-giver ... and we all know the way to a man's heart is through his galpal's affinity for Manalo Blahniks.
