Notice to all applicants for the Editor position for The Red Man’s blog: the position has been filled.
The old woman Slow has seen the error of her ways and has agreed to do better. She is determined to be cheerful and amicable and work harder than ever as we look toward our four-year Anniversary Celebration of our Rants and Raves in August, and so The Red Man who is known for his forgiving spirit and kind heart has told her she can keep the job.
That’s right. No more whining about long work hours. No more complaining about equal pay for equal work. Blah, blah.blah. No more personal days for “medical emergencies.” She has confessed her sins and repented. Praise Lady Gaga.
She is sorry for her poor work habits lately and will be watching fewer Wimbledon matches during the second week this week. (Of course, she needn’t think she’s pulling a fast one over moi…I know there ARE fewer televised matches this week.)
Thanks to all of our Amigos in cyberspace for your comments and suggestions. They are duly noted and much appreciated.
But for now, the Dream Team remains intact.
And speaking of Dream Teams, Paw Snaps and Twirls to the US Women’s Soccer Team in their awesome victory last night! Casa de Canterbury roared when that girl Carli Lloyd kicked the round ball from Wherever to Kingdom Come. Won’t see that one again for a while, but it was sure fun while it lasted. Hope those girls are celebrating big time today.
Get me outta here, Percy…we got big things going on here tomorrow…one of the Little Women of Worsham Street will be visiting all the way from Texas…stay tuned.
I am so glad we don’t have to pull certain people out of bed and shake them like one of those toys some dogs like. Also, glad we don’t have to post the job. I like the way it is done and want things to stay the same 🙂 Your vacation posts were so much fun!

Thank you, Robin! In the end, The Red Man decided keeping the old woman Slow was the best idea. Breaking in a new Editor seemed like such a difficult task!! Pretty also added her 2 cents’ worth and said Red would be in Big Trouble with her if he fired Slow…and Red never argues with Pretty…:)

So pleased the Red Man is enjoying all the sport. The US woman’s team was fantastic. They deserved every victory they had, especially this last one. The soccer was outstanding, loved every minute of the World Cup. The tennis – brilliant. Can’t wait for the finishing set today between Djokovic and Anderson and then the women’s quarter finals. Enjoy.

Well that’s downright magnanimous of you Red! Our peeps are fragile in mind and body. We four-leggeds need to give a little rein now and again, as Doctor Zeus would say. Let’s just keep paws and hooves crossed that the old gal keeps her resolutions, because we enjoy your posts as is. Imagine if you have to outsource to India. You’ll be talking about holy cows. Hmm… 😀
Enjoy your visit by the Distinguished Delegation from the Grand State of Texas!!
Much love and sloppy Poppy kisses :*

The Delegation from Texas arrived last evening just as I got my pneumonia diagnosis yesterday from my doctor. So Pretty is taking them for an antiquing adventure while I go back to bed to rest today. We had the best talk last night – got all the gossip from Worsham Street which makes me very happy! 🙂

Oh, Red Man, I am so happy to hear that Slow saw the error of her ways. Editors are super important (Mommy tells me that all the time because she used to be one; whatever), and you have an excellent one in Slow. Now, if you have a few of your rejected resumes for the editor position sitting around, would you be so kind as to send them my way? I’d like to leave them around the house to light a fire under my human mommy’s lazy blogging assistant rear end. 😉

Explaining something: I will be 60 in November. I accidentally forgot the position was filled!!
Just re-read my own comment. Definitely goofed up so ignore “hiring position” post in my comments on July monthly calendar. Surely, if noticed you may have more “back up editors,” but not too many people visit so late in the month. 🙂 If you forgive Sheila, Red, can you forgive me, too?

Of course, you are forgiven with Paw Snaps and Twirls!! We refer to our older Amigas as Seasoned and totally excuse them for everything – we just worry about them as Editors!! 🙂
