Sometimes someone says something so brilliant that there’s really no option but to stop what I’m doing and share. This is one of those moments.
The ridiculously smart and irrepressible Doug Haslam regularly engages in interaction that makes me think, inspires and often makes me wish I lived closer to him so that we could hang out in person. I like that in a friend.
And then, there’s his stellar sense of humor.
Doug posted this on Facebook this morning, and it’ll tell you everything you need to know about why I think he’s so spectacular. And before you ask, no, he does not pay me to say nice things about him. Yet.
It’s a parody of the many co-workers who feel it necessary just because of a little inclement weather to blast their schedules to everyone – as if any of us care (or will remember). You know who you are.
Snow is changing my schedule around today a little, so FYI:
10am – Shoveling
11 am – Hot Cocoa
12pm – Snowman
1pm – More hot cocoa
2pm – Stock up on ammo
3pm – Snow angels
4pm – Looting. Neighborhood tbd
5pm – Neighbors over for winter cannibal dinner (shhhhh it’s a surprise)
7pm – More shoveling
8pm – Hot cocoa
Will have cell with me at all times!
You totally get it now, right?
I know you’re busy shoveling and updating your status for the latest coworker eblast and all that crap, but take a minute and check out Doug’s blog. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll not only read it, you’ll subscribe. And it goes without saying that you’ll also TwitStalk him regularly.
You’re welcome.
