Twas the night before easter

I heard this on my favorite internet web radio station: www.relevantradio.com

It was on Holy Thursday morning's Glen's Story Corner, titled "twas the night before Easter"

I hope you enjoy this as well.

Dear Sir:

Thank you for submitting the resumes of the twelve men you have picked for management positions in your new organization. All of them have now taken our battery of tests; we have not only run the results through our computer, but also arranged personal interviews for each of them with our psychologist and vocational aptitude consultant.

The profiles of all tests are included, and you will want to study each of them carefully.

As part of our service, and for your guidance, we make some general comments, much as an auditor will include some general statements. This is given as a result of staff consultation and comes without any additional fees.

It is the staff opinion that most of your nominees are lacking in background, education and vocational aptitude for the type of enterprise you are undertaking. They do not have the team concept. We would recommend that you continue your search for persons of experience in managerial ability and proven capability.

Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper. Andrew has absolutely no qualities of leadership. The two brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, place personal interest above company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale. We feel that it is our duty to tell you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. James, son of Alpheus, and Thaddaeus definitely have radical leanings, and they both registered a high score on the manic-depressive scale.

One of the candidates, however, shows greater potential. He is a man of ability and resourcefulness, meets people well, has a keen business mind, and has contacts in high places. He is highly motivated, ambitious and responsible. We recommend Judas Iscariot as your controller and right hand man. All other profiles are self explanatory.

We wish you every success in your new Venture.

Sincerely yours,
Jordan Management Consultants

Mardi Gras Nerts postponed

Hello everyone,

Due to Kelly's dizziness (moreso than usual ;-)) - the Dr thinks she has a virus. She has been bedridden for quite some time this week, and is down at the hospital this morning (Saturday) for precautionary measure.

So...

Mardi Gras Nerts will be postponed.

We' re not sure yet when - we need to look at the calendar. A Valentine's Nerts sounds like a fun idea, but we will check and see our other commitments, and opportunities.

Let us know if you Blog readers (are those called bloggers, or Blog peepers, or blogettes? Hmm, we have to come up with such a word, but I digress) have a preference.
