The day started like any week day, my husband is up and ready for work, we share coffee together and I send him on his way, what a rut. I'm only 27 years old and the thrill seems to have left. Day in and day out the same thing. My day grinds on, I clean around the house. Tea, soft music, and the monotony of my day settles in around me, my familiar boredom ta...
Good morning world!! And it is a good morning. The sun's shining out there and it's Wednesday again. Every other Wednesday is very important to me. You see that's the day the ice cream man comes late in the afternoon. He's the guy that drives the big truck and brings frozen foods to the house for us to buy. You see, we live out in the country and this compan...
Chapter 2 – First Day Back At Work As the alarm clock buzzed me awake from my disturbed sleep I was tempted to roll over and spend the rest of the day in bed. It was Monday, two days after my humiliation at the hands of John and Simon. At the back of my mind I knew that they would make me pay for any attempts to escape from our deal. I got out of bed, pull...
My competitors call me an 'order taker'. My friends say I am a salesman. "One of a dying breed," they say. They are correct. Telephone soliciting has a bad name and pop-up ads on the internet are so annoying! Car dealers' ads on TV are so patently misleading they are an embarrassment to the public's sensitivities. Gypsies, tramps and thieves. Not me: I hav...
Clytemnestra Lathrop, better known to the corner boys in the Tillery's Tenements area of Buttermilk Falls as "Nasty Nesti" lounged in the outer office of Dickie Divallo. Richard Divallo Senior, had founded Divallo & Rothgeb and then left it to Dickie (Junior). Dickie's oldest son, Richard the Third, called "Trey" headed up Accounting... But it seemed like...
Chapter 19: Harbinger "I'm sorry baby, but we have to do this as well. We can't let this problem get away from us," said Carl. "I know, I just want to find him. I didn't want him tangled up in this mess," Joy sighed. "We should check this place out; one of Miranda's minions might be hanging around here," Aaron suggested as they approached a nightclub. "I...
Working At Home: The Gynaecologists' Perfect Life Part 1 Finishing up with my last patient, I say goodbye to Mrs Johnson and tell her I'll see her same time next year. I'm one of the few people who can in all honesty say they love their work. A gynaecologist by trade, there is nothing I love more than getting to look at vaginas all day long. I wasn't alwa...
Thanks so much for all your encouragement. I've known a few ladies in my short life, and will share my stories with you. I was helping this gorgeous girl who was naked in the back of an ambulance! * I had used the same bank since I moved to town. I'm a six foot one inch 190 pound MD who works primarily in the hospital (they term us "hospitalists"). Somet...
Tabby had gone to her friends Laura for lunch, like she did every Saturday. A small group of friends always met there for lunch and some fun. Laura's was the place of choice because it was almost half way between Tabby's to the West, Tammi's to the South and Jen's to the North. The four 22 year olds had grown up in this area together, all gone to school toge...
I have to concede that the idea of going into business for ourselves had me in a bit of a panic. I did the math, Patty and I would need not 3 clients each and every day, but 6 at least. All of our savings went into purchasing the spa from the old lady that had run it for years, plus a loan on our house that would take a decade to pay off. The old lady wa...
