About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Fur-Ternity

You have just gotten a new pet
and you have no way of paying for a
Sitter
all day while you are at work.
What to do?
What to do?
I know,
work for a company who cares!
It all started with a new puppy. Nina Hale, a digital marketing company in Minneapolis, just introduced a policy that allows its employees who have just gotten new pets to work from home.
They're calling it "fur-ternity leave." The policy was inspired by Connor McCarthy, senior accounts manager at Nina Hale. Back in May, he had adopted a Goldendoodle named Bentley, and he wanted to be there for him as the new puppy settled into his new home. "I reached out to my direct supervisor ... and the lead in our team, and just mentioned that I was getting a puppy," he said. "So I just discussed if there was any way that we could have adjustments to my schedule ... to allow me to at least be with the puppy while still working." Allison McMenimen is the executive vice president for client services at Nina Hale and McCarthy's team lead. She said that McCarthy's request was quickly approved and that it tipped company leadership off that fur babies were just as important to their employees as human babies.
Connor McCarthy and his puppy, Bentley, a Goldendoodle.Isn't that sweet.
Now if we can get more
Companies
on board,
we wouldn't have the
Traffic Jams
we do today.

This is,
Still Hoping To Get My Computer Fixed Soon,
So I Don't Have To Sit In Line At The Library To Use One Of Theirs,
Jim Hauenstein,

Maybe Then I Will Be Able To Have Time To Write Some Good Short Stories Again,

And,

"Life is too short to be miserable. So let's be happy."

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
