It's May Day

Thursday after work. It's great to be home. PoBoy is bushed! Anyway first day of May went as well as can be expected -- made it. The office folks, majority of them, were up at the Capitol to meet with legislators. They do this every year, and by this time next year, the legislators will think the stuff they are discussing is all "new." Actually it's the same stuff from the previous year with the exception a little more inflated. LoL LoL You know like gasoline and food. LOL LOL

Speaking of food, the office where PoBoy works provided the legislator's and guests with food (yep, at our expense -- goodbye bonus at Christmas time). Gee! Come to think of it with me leaving in October, I won't get a bonus anyway! But PoBoy is sure the staff will all line up at the door on that fateful day in October and give him a "swift kick" out the door! LOL LOL

Back to the Legislative Luncheon (that's what they call it), there were a total of 120 people present and accounted for (PoBoy will bet you they were all hungry too!). PoBoy looked at the roster of legislators and congressmen and there was a total of 140 possible attendee's, not counting guests. I guess they count the office staff that were present, three of them, as guests too.

The "lunch" consisted of "wraps." Not sure of the cost of them but looked quite expensive. One of the staff remembered PoBoy sitting back at the office and picked up a lunch for him. His consisted of something they called a spinach wrap, and the wrap was green in color but loaded with shredded cheese and a variety of veggies -- PoBoy liked the mushrooms best. Then there was a pasta cup -- probably had 8 pieces of those tubular shape pastas in it with somekind of tomato sauce. Also a bag of chips like you would send with your child to school -- maybe a mouthful. And of course, who could forget dessert -- two cookies. Now don't you folks going telling the doctor PoBoy ate two cookies. He'll be in big trouble if you do that. He couldn't resist them though, and swallowed them almost whole so no one would see him.

Oh Yes! That office staff is always watching him. "Traitor's" to PoBoy's hungry tummy. PoBoy thought it was nice of them to remember him though.

Everyone returned about 2p.m. including the "big" boss. PoBoy calls him big even though he is three months younger then PoBoy. Gee! PoBoy just had a horrible thought -- he's the oldest person in that office. PoBoy's life has always been either the youngest or the oldest -- whatever happen to in between?

Well on the way home, PoBoy stopped at the local grocery store -- right across from all the road construction. He thought the car behind him was going to kiss him into the driveway. Don't you love it when they get that close? For another sandwich wrap, he'd stop the car and get out -- punch the guy in the nose too.

Inside the store it was not too busy. He scooted down the main aisle to the meat department. PoBoy spotted the pork chops and grabbed one three pack $1.49 per pound; then he noticed there was one package of chicken drum sticks left on the barren counter, so he grabbed it just in time. They were .97 cents a pound. PoBoy felt better now. He had chicken for the furry puppies breakfest and pork chops for their supper. That's the way PoBoy feeds them. They are his king and queen and he sure worships them.

That stirred up a thought in PoBoy's mind. Suppose I can't bring those furries with me and it's looking more like that way every day. Those little guys will surely starve. Most people don't treat animals like PoBoy does.

Speaking of puppies PoBoy came home from work the other day and the little guy, both the king and prince around here, was outside on his chain to meet PoBoy. When PoBoy was walking up the sidewalk, PunkyButt was on the staircase, when suddenly he turned around and you wouldn't believe it, but PunkyButt actually laughed. Not a growl. Not a bark. But an actual laugh. He hasn't done that since, but PoBoy waits for him to do it again. It was so darn cute.

Well tonight PoBoy hopes to see if he can get his monitor hooked up -- the spacesaver monitor. He did get an email from the young man who sold it to him (Luke) and was told that if anything was wrong with it he would make good on it. PoBoy loves to deal with people. Oh! He even received an email from the gentleman who gave him is first "laser" printer. PoBoy scratches his chin and determines: "there still are some good people out there in this old world."

PoBoy is going to stop writing for now and get to work on checking out the new-used monitor. He's excited for sure. Both doggies are waiting for him to play for awhile too. Hmmmm! Which comes first?
