All you unmarried peeps listen up. When your spouse offers you some advice, it's probably a good idea to take it. You might think that your loved one is only trying to manipulate you. But, truth is, if they really love you, they have your best interests in mind. Now, I'm a bit hard-headed; and Angie and I have butted heads more than once during our married life. It's okay to have different opinions on things. It's not okay to be so obstinate that you are unwilling to yield to your mate or listen to their ideas.
So, what's my point?
Angie said the Wooden Spoon Awards were fine, but it sounded like I was a crabby old man. She said that it would be better if I balanced the awards each week with a "winner" instead of only posting a "loser". Therefore, with much ballyhoo, I offer the Golden Spoon today. This award goes to someone who went above and beyond their normal duties. You know, someone who stands above the crowd...cream of the crop.
This week's winner: Eddie, the telemarketer.
HUH!?!?!?!?
Yeah, I had a telemarketer call me the other morning and he was actually pretty good at his job. I'll cut to the chase and let you know that I didn't buy anything from him. But this guy started off the whole shebang by making me laugh. And I mean, throw-your-head-back-and-cackle laugh. Plus, he was charming enough to keep me engaged in the conversation, without become irritably persistent with his sales pitch. He was trying to sell me 75 mini-lights with my business name on it. I love little pocket lights, but I couldn't see spending $200 to $300 for a novelty that people carry in their pockets...only to be used when it's too dark to read my name on it. But that's neither here nor there. What does matter is that Eddie was the hands-down winner this week. Congrats Eddie, here's your spoon.
