Hi, I wouldn’t consider myself a good friend to have because
of my tendency to favour my own space rather than to fill it with other people!
I think it is because I interact with people all week at work and look forward
to kicking back with family on the weekend rather than seeking the company of
friends. This policy tends to naturally limit the number of friends that
gravitate your way but has the potential to leave you a bit lonely if you were
to be suddenly deserted by family!
I make an effort to behave myself well enough long enough not
to have to worry in that respect!
So it was with a great deal of pride that I stood up and was
counted in support of a friend over the weekend. I visited him as promised and was
blown away with his reaction to my following through on that promise. This
small gesture had a huge impact on both of us and for that reason alone I have
decided I need to be a better and more regular friend!You cant just opt out of
allocating time to others because you want to be reclusive with family!Yes it
is a part of the overall life balance thing so best to get used to it because
one day I know I will be grateful for friends who made the effort to stand up
for me too…thats the way life rolls out here….yes another timely wake up call
for me !
From
the Fletcher file; weve been watching daily
World Cup football (the beautiful game) and working on perfecting our wicked
right foot cross and volley…on track for All Whites honours and an appearance
at the 2034 World Cup event wherever that may be !!,good to have goals (excuse
pun).
Just in case the All Whites don’t make it we have earmarked
the Rugby World Cup 2035 as a fall back option…I hope you are also looking
ahead to lofty goals whilst also providing plenty of support and friendship for
people important and close to you, have a great week ahead........cheers
Jonesey !!!
Harry
and the Hendersons reckon they will always be my best friend no matter how busy
they get in the office during the week or how reclusive they feel on the
weekends..Awww!
Seen in a reception area last week:
“At
Abodo we don’t have Receptionists”
Abodo the home of the beautiful exterior wood.
We don’t have a receptionist everyone here has the
opportunity to greet visitors.
We hope this explains any imcompetence you might experience.
Not that you will.
So please attract someones attention by;
1)Presenting offerings of
food
2)Performing a stirring
rendition of the “Macarena”
3)Wolf Whistling
4)Performing star jumps at
an energetic pace.
5) Getting undressed
One of our friendly team
will be with you very soon.
Things like this say a lot about a company and their
outlook/philosophy. They have a lot of fun with this with many visitors opting
for the safety of the wolf whistle or the star jumps . Many like me wouldn’t
have a clue about the “Macarena” , few are carrying food and thankfully fewer
discard their clothes but everyone comments and has a laugh,what a great
icebreaker and intro to their business!
