Have you seen "Ms. Ida Marder?

Hey Friday Friends ~

I'm still alive! Many of you have checked in on "Ms Gladys" ~ she has been missing in ACTION but all is well ~ thanks for checking in.

Which reminds me.....we ALL KNOW "Ms Ida Marder" (as in martyr) We have each worked with her. She's the one that says, "Nothing around here ever gets done unless I do it MYSELF" and "I'm the ONLY one that will answer the phone, the first one here in the morning, the last one to leave, I work through my lunch, no one else does ANYTHING!" and "I SHOULD be the only one that gets paid around here, no one else does anything!" and then of course, "I even do the managers work!"

OK, we get it! "Ida" finally resigned from her position and low and behold, the lights came on the next day! The phones were answered, the doors were locked at the end of the day and in fact, the staff was much happier! Isn't it amazing that "Ms Ida Marder" is sometimes the "ONLY ONE that makes everyone ELSE miserable?" Oh and by the way ~ the manager carried on ~ didn't miss one beat!

It is my belief that we CAN BE happy while working ~ if "Ms Ida Marder" isn't HAPPY at her work, allow her to find happiness elsewhere. As for me ~ I want to be around "Joy Hunter" ~ she's a dear friend of mine. I'm "Gladys Friday" aren't you?

Denise (and "Gladys") are still writing their "Book of Characters" In the meantime, the Fashion Show is gaining popularity.

Enjoy your weekend ~ and again, thanks for missing me!
