1994 Madison Sq. Garden



Early this year Shannon mentioned that a management position at Brighthouse where he works is becoming available and that he was among fifty people who had applied for the position.
A month or so later he said that after a series of interviews it had been reduced to seven and he was still in the running.
I pointed out that working on the phone from his house had it's advantages not having to make that long drive over the Skyway bridge five days a week but he said that taking  years of verbal abuse from irate customers who had mistakenly unplugged their computer had finally taken it's toll.
So anyway, my wife told me yesterday he had called saying he got the promotion and sounded very happy.
As I understand it, he will be a floor manager that advising those who are having trouble solving callers problems.

I suppose anyone who can patiently teach a senior citizen who had never done anything besides shovel shit and holler "Steady!" how to work a computer knows his business.

I might add that Dalilah has taken a day off from her Verzion job to oversee the movement of her furniture from storage to my mother in laws former house next door that is now back in our Pfiefdom  and completely renovated.

I just might call and have the delivery of the new lawn mower held up for a day or two, too much excitement for one day.

Congrats two the two most deserving young folks.

Buckles what you forgot to mention

was that you had to explain to all

of them just what it meant to hold

"Steady" The explanation was the

hard part not the "Hollerin"

Most of us could handle the shovel
