Hello,………….. first off I would like to introduce myself and who I am. To most of you I think you know me by alias Squirrel. I am sure lots of you are wondering why Margaret calls me that, there is a reason behind it. It is kinda funny but I love to eat. For all of you that know me you already know that, but when I eat at times I tend to store my food for a min and then swallow it, just like a squirrel does so that is why I got the name I did, and I do not mind it. Okay so back to the matter, my name is Misti Burgon and I am 31 years old. I am a office manager for a place called TMS, I have been here for almost 5 years. That is how Margaret and I met. I was looking for a receptionist and she had applied. When I interviewed her I liked her right away. So we hired her. The first day she was here, she had to leave and go home because of a family issue and everyone was saying to me she was a flake who does that on the first day of work. I knew and understood that sometimes things just come up so I fought for her to saved her job. Man am I ever so glad that I did. She has been here for almost 3 years and she has been the very best at that spot. It has not been a revolving door like it use to be. I really do appreciate her and all her hard work that she does for me and for TMS as well. It was not long after she started working here that her and I just clicked and have been close ever since. She is not only my very best friend, but she is more like a sister to me. I feel she is like my family. Her and I go to lunch everday together and we are very lucky to see and talk to one another all day long at work. For all of you that do not know, I call her bunnie, I will leave that up to her if she wants to explain that one. Maybe we both are named after animals cause we once were party animals, jk that is not true just thought it sounded funny was all. well I will not post much more today I just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone how bunnie and I met. If anyone has any questions for me or want to know something feel free to ask. Have a great day everyone :0)
All About Me~Guest Post!
Random Dozen
1. Do you use the labels various charities send you as “free gifts?”
I have never gotten any my name but if I did I would use them. My grandma uses them all the time. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
2. What is your favorite time of day (or night) for skywatching?
Anytime but I do it mostly during the day
3. What is the most adventurous you’ve ever been with trying a new food? (Keep it G-rated please)
I am not adventurous so I have no stories for this question.
4. Have you ever heard a rock sing? (Trust me, there’s a reason for this one!)
No???? But I am wondering where this came from!
5. If you could learn a language you don’t presently speak, what would it be?
Spanish because you need to know it anymore to function in my own country.
6. Al Capone’s tombstone read, “My Jesus, Mercy.” If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say?
Bite Me!
7. If you were a famous musician who was known by one name, like “Cher,” “Sting,” or “Jewel,” what would it be? It doesn’t have to be your first name, but it can be, if you’d like.
Margaret- Because no one else has ever used it!
8. Have you ever been inordinately “into” a television show?
No not really. I am not a huge TV fan. I watch movies the most.
9. When you sneeze, do you go big, or do you do that weird “heenh!” sound that makes people think you’re going to blow your brains out? Any other variation we should know about?
I try and hold it in because I hate people that sneeze really loud. It is the one thing that bugs me even more than having to listen to people chew.
10. Do you still read an actual newspaper that you hold in your hands, or do you get your news elsewhere?
I do read the paper sometimes and other times I get the news from the internet. It just depends on what I am doing and where I am at.
11. Are you a good speller?
I try to be-I use spell check a lot and I also ask grandpa when I am home because he is a human dictionary.
12. At what time each day do you start thinking about Lost lunch?
Whenever I get hungry but it is usually about noon or so.
Please Stop Laughing At Me
I just finished reading “Please Stop Laughing At Me” by Jodee Blanco. I have never written a book review but I loved this book and wanted to share some parts of it with you. More than that though I really think that everyone should read this especially teenagers. This book is about the bullying that she endured while she went to school. She had to go through this all through school and now as an adult isn very successful and is trying to spread more awareness of bullying in schools.
I also had to endure bullying from about 5th grade until I graduated. I got 2 years of relief when I went to a different school but when I came back it started up again. Now what I endured wasn’t nearly as bad she what she went through but it was bad enough to make my life hell. I think the bullying is on the rise and parents and kids need to take more of a stand to try and stop it. I know it won’t ever be totally gone away but maybe if kids read this book they will see what it does to kids and more kids will try and stand up for the kids that are always picked on.
