Reference Smakk
Even after 15 years of working in the recruiting business, I still get amused that you never know what to expect when you deal with people. I've got many stories about all the crazy situations people put themselves in while at work (which I will be publishing some day soon), but I had a nice like nugget last night while making a reference call on an Executive VP looking for work.

Smakk - "Good morning Miss. I understand you used to work with VP X."
Miss - "Yes. He was my boss for about 90 days."
Smakk - "Oh, I see. Well what can you share with me about your experiences with him?"
Miss - "What do you want to know?"
Smakk - "Well can you tell what you thought about him as your supervisor?"
Miss - "Sure. I thought he was about as useful as tits on a board."
Smakk - "Great. That's all I need to know. Thanks."

I will definitely be stealing that phrase in the future....

Countdown Smakk
Less than 25 days left to the expected arrival of Smakkette and already we have a major change in Club 6850. For the first time in probably 20 years, my house bar with all the liquor bottles has been relocated out of the viewing area and placed behind closed doors in the pantry. It's like I lost a part of my family. Even when Big Wu visited the house this Saturday, the very first words out of his mouth were "Where the fuck is the booze?"
Ohhh the sacrifices I am making for my spawn....bright pink room, weird baby contraptions everywhere, car seat holder already in both cars. And the pets are definitely walking around more nervous than ever....
