My main task at work over the past week has been responding to angry emails. Sometimes it's nice, because I can change a person's perspective and make them feel better about AIG, other times I get really nasty responses that make me feel like total crap.
The last email I read before leaving yesterday afternoon (to go buy a million dollar battery for the Range Rover) said something like "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Your response is the lipstick, and your company is the pig!" Nice. And of course I can't respond back with what I REALLY want to say, so I internalize all that crap and go on with my day.
When I got to the RR repair shop, I sat down and noticed this across the room.
How cute is that? I don't know why, but seeing this table full of homemade goodies totally changed my mood. Binoculars made from toilet paper tubes...only 50 cents! How about a paper purse for two bucks? Need to brush up on your math? Take a quiz!
The owner's daughter is 8 years old, and apparently she restocks her little "shop" quite often. And she's made over $80 so far. How is that for being a little entrepreneur? So I bought a drawing of a butterfly and decided that Mr. Lipstick just needs a different perspective on things.

I LOVE it! It's very sweet and exactly what you needed. Screw Mr. Lipstick...that's been so overused I'm sick of hearing it.
Pox on him.
A Hummer and a Range Rover?
You must spend a fortune on gas.
Why are people mad at AIG?
The RR gets great gas mileage compared to the Hummer. Up until 3 months ago, my hubby and I both worked from home, so gas mileage wasn't an issue.
Really? You don't know why people are mad at AIG? I'm certainly not telling you! :)
That's so adorable, the telescope, paper purse and math quiz are great ideas.
Sorry about the yucky angry people. Hey, at least is not blue poo water.
