Lunchtime is Lunchtime

During Lunchtime, the office phone rings... One of the employees picks up and says:
"What kind of an idiot is it that dares to phone me in the middle of my lunch break?!?"
The caller shouts back:
"Do you have any idea whom you are talking to...? I am the CEO of this company!"
The employee replies:
"Do you have any idea whom YOU are talking to?"
Perplexed the CEO mumbles: "NO!!!"
The employee heaves a sigh of relieve and say: "Thank goodness for that!!" and hangs up.

Hahaha.....very smart employee!!

Two Choices

What would you do?.... you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice? At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other chi ldren do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?' The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.' Then he told the following story: Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps. I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.' Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field,&nbs p; grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown t he ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkward ly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. B y the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay' Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!' As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team 'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'. Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

Blessed By A Stranger

By Joan Wester Anderson

It was winter when Nancy Williamson answered the door and found a friend, Barb, and her daughter, Anna, standing on the porch. Happy to have company, Nancy fixed coffee and the women talked of vacation wishes.

"Someday I'd like to take my daughters on a vacation to Prince Edward Island," Nancy said.

"Why don't we go?" Barb asked. "I'd love to see that area."

They had plenty of time to save money, and plan a two-week trip. "But two days before we were to leave," reported Nancy, "I noticed a grinding sound when I turned the steering wheel of the station wagon."

She had already had the car checked out, and knew the noise was coming from a small steering fluid leak, which would cost several hundred dollars to fix. But, instead of cancelling the trip and fixing the power steering, she bought several bottles of steering fluid instead.

It was an adventure from the beginning. "Every day we had to add a bottle of steering fluid," Nancy said. But the journey continued without a breakdown, and on the fourth day of driving, they reached their destination, a campsite on Prince Edward Island.

The area was beautiful, and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sights. But the leak was getting worse every day.

Every day required a trip to a service station to buy more steering fluid. Uneasily Nancy wondered how they were going to get home. Were they going to break down at night? Or on a dangerous stretch of road?

God, she prayed. Please take care of us, even if we don't deserve it.

Their departure morning arrived. The women stocked up on bottles of fluid, and headed for the ferry to return them to the mainland, New Brunswick, Canada. Barb drove off the ferry but almost immediately they realized that she had made a wrong turn. Barb pulled to the side of the road, and took out the map.

Just then the car behind them pulled up and a nondescript man got out and approached their station wagon. He put his hand on the back of it. "God bless you," he said. "Can I help?"

Barb explained her confusion, and the man gave her directions. As he turned to leave, he said again, "God bless you."

It was a four-day trip back to Michigan, and every time the women stopped the station wagon, they checked the steering fluid. "Not once after we left that man in New Brunswick did we have to put a drop of steering fluid into the car," Nancy said. They arrived home safely.

The next morning Nancy went outside and started the station wagon. The grinding sound was back, and there was a large puddle of fluid under her car. But a final miracle awaited her.

"I had enough money left from vacation to pay the entire repair bill," Nancy said.

The angels think of everything.

CCNA course

Just started doing my ccna course... today on my 4th lesson. Currently on the 5th chapter. Today I am so tired, I dozed off in class. It could be because of heavy lunch + it all theory on the first half of the lesson. After the class, I am alert, as doing lab, plus I didn't know any command on the switch.
