My Happy Friday

It’s that time again! So let’s get started because I think I enjoy reading this more than you do. So Friday JK Design had a company outing to this cool place called Pine Creek Golf. Before going to PCG, Kurt and Omar took a trip to this pizza shop in Montgomery. I’m told they had some really good pizza there. Before going to Tyco, Kurt and Omar made a bet about the “smoking hot” poster from last week’s post. When they got there and dropped off the poster, it quickly became apparent that Kurt lost the bet. It’s hard to explain the bet because you’d have to see the poster.

The outing at PCG was crazy. Click here, here, here and here to see funny pictures. When Omar got back to the house he was excited to find a few gifts from his girlfriend Rachel. She got him his favorite adult spirits, Amarula and Voga—nice.  And she brought home a ton of food.

Saturday was errand day for O. He picked up his mail and saw Tony at MBE and did some other random things. After that he spent quality time preparing his bike to be sold. That thing looks great. Over the weekend Jerry took a plane out to Costa Rica to spend some time with a client—lucky bucky! When Omar got to work he found a really cool video of a car ballet on yahoo. Check it out. To pay for his debt, Kurt wore a shirt and tie in preparation for doing it for the rest of the week. Then O was scared half to death with a baby false alarm from Kya. He ordered flowers and all but no baby. Just before he walked in the door at home he was surprised by a call from an old buddy from Tyco, Connie E. I hear they had a nice conversation.  

Tuesday, he walked into work and Pat was opening windows, the door was wide open and there was a cloud of smoke. Apparently, Bill B., not Bill C. nearly burned down the office heating up lasagna in the toaster oven. HA, HA, HA, HA, HA. People at JK Design are like elephants, Bill you probably want to hide for the next year or so, sir. Rachel sent O an e-mail about a new Visa scam. Read about it.

Just to confirm Omar was right about the audit poster, Shelly sent him the following message: The audit flyer is hot! (that’s what you’d say, right? :))  Yeah that’s what he says girl. So it must “Suck to be a Mets Fan”. A season so bad they had to send an e-mail to their fans? I was pretty upset about something that happened Tuesday. I feel like Kurt took advantage of Omar. He made a bet with him and I feel like it was an unfair bet. Sure O lost and paid like he should, but I think Kurt unfairly used his knowledge about working in an agency and exploited Omar’s ignorance. Hey, it’s just one man’s opinion. Omar’s bike was officially put on sale.

Have you ever purchased a new car and then felt like there were a bazillion of those cars on the road? I think Omar feels like that now. It’s like everywhere he turns it’s happy this, happy that it’s so funny. He found out that Verizon came out with its “iPhone” killer. It looks like it might be that or maybe close. Just in case you ever get a check for 3/4s of a million dollars, don’t leave it in your hotel room!

Later in the day, at 3:23 p.m., Omar’s second god son was born. His name is Isiah Omar Legend Jones, he weights 5 lbs 10 oz and is 18.5 inches long. Just before leaving work he talked to his super friend from Tyco, Karen VICE PRESIDENT C., that’s right, she got a serious promotion. So later he took an hour and a half ride to Nyack Hospital to see the little guy and finally deliver the flowers from Monday. The whole family was there. He had a blast.

Thursday was really only about bowling. When Omar got there he saw Kim T., welcome Kim, Laura and Barbara. They had a blast. Everyone was “locked in,” but Kim said the funniest thing: “I would have done better if I didn’t show up.” O said you did fine Kim.

So here is where I leave you. This, I have to say, was fun. I’m guessing I should leave you with one of Omar’s cute little sign offs. Hmm, what to say? I’m into avoidance. You can’t work if you’re not around and your boss can’t give you work if they can’t see you. If you work in corporate America, your solution is easy: schedule a bunch of bogus meetings all day. Here’s the fun part. You can torture people don’t like by inviting them to a meeting about nothing or invite your friends and you can talk about scrapbooking or the playoffs. If you’re in sales, you’re better off. Just tell your boss you have to meet clients and spend the day at the mall. If you work somewhere else be creative or give Omar a call—he’s pretty creative.

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).
