I am Michael Scott

As you are all aware yesterday was a day of great celebration, my 36th Birthday. As I arrived a work I found a great suprise wating for me. My office admin Dawn pulled the greatest prank of all time and put my "Worlds Best Boss" cup inside Jell-o!!! (She gave the cup for my B-day last year). I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time. If your not a fan of the The Office and you don't get the joke check out this link.

My day kept getting better, my service manager Bob gave me the new DVD copy of Lonesome Dove, the greatest western of all time. And then my Parts Manager Jeff took me to lunch at my favorite restaurant in the world, Grazie's Italian. It was awesome.

One of the benifits of the down economy is it appears this is causing my employees to really kiss up big time. I think I have finally accomplished my mangerial goal with the staff, "they are truly afraid of how much they love me." It really isn't that hard to do. That's what she said.

Take a look a the following link for more of my favorite Michael Scott moments.

Best Sister Ever (Sorry Liz)

I know that I'm going to get in trouble with Lizzy for posting this blog but I just have to shout the praises of my little sister Anna. Last week when I was down in Salt Lake and ended up getting sick. It started on golf course where to the joy of Jim and Todd I started having serious stomach cramps. They thought it was very funny to see their big brother doubled over in pain and they nearly convinvced me to take a BM in a garbadge can on the course (no bathroom in sight). I would have done it but Todd had his camera phone with him and thats a picture I don't want on anyone's blog. I finally threw up on the 9th tee box but I still hit a great a drive. I knocked my 2nd shot on the green and then on the drive to the green I puked for the 2nd and 3rd time. I was able to 2 putt and finish the hole with a 3 puke par. Let's see tiger do that!!! That was the end of my golf game and I went back Anna and Todd's house to recouperate.

If you are ever sick in SLC go to Noozers house for unbelievable service. Above is the tray of comfort items that Noozer brought me. This is what was on the tray.

Pepto Bismal

Tumms

Advil

Gatorade

Water

Sprite

Cup of Ice

Saltines

Gold Fish Crackers

Noozer made sure I had comfy pillows, a warm blanket, and the remote for the TV. What more could a sick brother want. Thanks Noozer for taking care of me.

Other than the sickness I had a great time visting the family in SLC. It was fun to see all my cute nieces and nephews. It was nice to see Grandma Pugh. I also got to eat at my two favorite SLC resteraunts Training Table and the Sconecutter. Ummmmm Scones... I also got to eat of ton of Anna's fantastic sticky popcorn. Sorry Spencer. I can't wait to see the family again. Love you all espcecially my sweet sister Anna. (I love you too Lizzy)
