How do you like Aunt Judith's new workspace? Anyone want to come for a board meeting this summer?We're installing wireless Internet near the tennis courts so Judith won't miss any important work while sunbathing or smashing that poor little yellow fuzzy ball around. However the phone calls interfere with her game so she may have to get a man (Anyone?) assistant.
As I eluded to you in a earlier posting I'm trying this thing Judith calls "work" and I will assume you're all curious how that is going for me.
My day mostly consists of waiting for peanuts 12:07 phone call. It is his "job" to ensure I understand what he is eating for lunch each day. I am still not sure why, but I guess I will learn once I get more "work" experience.
Also I have to spend a lot of time reviewing e-mails my friends and family forward to my "work" e-mail. I didn't know so many of my family and friends did "business" with the "firm" until I started "work"
So far my favorite part of the "work" day is something my "co-workers" call "tea time" It happens everyday at 15:00 hrs. It consists of a warm drink they call Earl Grey Cream and pieces of dark chocolate. Judith says it keeps the "workers" happy and the "firm" more productive. Who would have thought a simple cup of tea and some chocolate could do so much good! And if one of the "firms" directors or Judith's shop steward is in the office that day we stop what ever we are doing and must entertain the big shots. Judith says they're grooming me for big things, so I should sit in and listen as I might learn something. Judith says getting "connected" is the ticket to the big time! I still haven't asked her what the big time is, but I am sure it must be fun if it is anything like "work"
Also, I am learning about "consultants". I know who they are now because the all wear blue shirts, gesture a lot, draw pictures, and eat lunch out everyday with Judith. Judith tells me if I wear blue shirts and become buzz word compatible I can become a "consultant" no problem once I get "connected". Maybe that is what the "big time" is?
Thanks to my cousin Ian, who showed me this awesome mail away course booklet he received in the mail I can get certification in anything. You should see all the training you can get if you just put a little tear out stamp on this card with your address.
Also, I have started the first ever corporate trumpet band at the "firm". Judith calls that "taking initiative" and says it will help me with getting a "promotion" someday.
As you can see "work" is a place of learning, sharing, and evolving. I am glad I have had this opportunity to "work" and I have to thank Judith for introducing me to all the great things you get with "work" however I think being a super hero suited me better! What do you think, should I just go back to sleep?

As someone who has recently had some time freed up, I am now available to to apply for the position of Judith's "man" (assistant). I know exactly where the tennis courts are and have experience with wireless internet.
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with your HR representative about this exciting possibility
